Abstract
In this chapter we deal with daily time cycles in relation to tourism, in particular differentiating the temporal variations between day-time and night-time. The day is the time normally considered for action and the night for sleep, or at least for rest. Therefore tourism activity is usually concentrated during day-time. Consequently, the taken-for-granted and dominant images of tourism destinations are most often represented in the form of day-time images, when the natural light of the sun bathes every corner of the visual landscapes. This leaves night-time as a secondary player, if at all represented, in tourism destinations’ product, marketing and branding strategies.
