Samenvatting
The nightlife of a city is often a very important contribution to the economy, tourism, social connection, and business climate. Previous studies have examined how value is created in (live) music venues in Rotterdam, therefore this research project focuses on how value is created in nightlife, by juxtaposing both experiences from frequent nightclub visitors and nightclub managers in terms of social, cultural, and economic value creation. The study examines different types of value creation and their aspects, and investigates how these forms of value are created and perceived within Rotterdam's nightlife scene. This is done by answering the research question: ‘How do club managers and frequent club visitors experience the economic and social-cultural value of the nightlife in Rotterdam?’.
