| book description |

Looking beyond traditional nightlife dominated by bars, discos, and organized parties, this timely book explores the shift in the nightlife tourism industry motivated by growing environmental awareness and a move towards more sustainable tourism. Manuel Garcia-Ruiz and Jordi Nofre bring together scholars from the Global North and the Global South into dialogue to build a decolonized body of knowledge in the specific field of night studies. Understanding Nighttime Tourism provides an interdisciplinary perspective on this underexplored topic. Using a series of thought-provoking case studies, the authors cover key topics including edutourism and urban nightlife, the nighttime economy, festivalization, proximity and heritage tourism, touristification of urban spaces, and destination image. Ultimately, the book offers an example of activist science committed to more just, inclusive and sustainable cities. Written in an accessible style, this book provides an incisive study of this increasingly important area of research for students of tourism studies, leisure studies and urban studies. The invigorating case studies also make this an important book for urban planners and policy makers.
