No, the urban night economy does not solely determine tourism experience quality, but it significantly enhances it. Vibrant nighttime activities—such as night markets, cultural performances, illuminated landmarks, and dining—offer unique immersion in local culture, extend visitor stay, and boost satisfaction by providing leisure, excitement, and memorable experiences beyond daytime attractions. Studies show night tourism enriches perceptions of authenticity and vitality, often becoming a key draw for modern travelers. However, overall quality also depends on daytime offerings, safety, infrastructure, and accessibility. A strong night economy elevates a destination's appeal without being the sole factor.https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/sustainable-cities/articles/10.3389/frsc.2022.870697/full
