The night economy is a category of economic activity that occurs after 5pm that includes dining, nightlife, arts, music, theatre, entertainment, festivals, events, activities and tourist attractions that are open at night. In cities with a lively nightlife, the night economy is often larger than the single largest daytime industry. For example, the night economy of Japan is larger than the country's automotive industry.
A night economy can be stimulated with supportive bylaws and services such as late night transportation. For example, cities where commuters typically take the train typically have a more lively nightlife than cities that require cars to get around. Night economy policies often require balance with quality of life factors such as the need for quiet late at night in residential areas.|
