Residents’ attitudes towards nightlife supply: A comparison of Ibiza (Spain) and Punta del Este (Uruguay)

Residents' acceptance of nightlife is low in both Ibiza (Spain) and Punta del Este (Uruguay), though slightly higher in the latter, likely due to associated problems. A descending cluster analysis revealed four distinct groups: Enthusiasts, Moderates, Critics, and Negatives. In Ibiza, Critics predominate, showing a generally negative stance while acknowledging positive aspects, whereas in Punta del Este, Negatives dominate with uniformly negative responses. This study highlights the nuanced differences in resident attitudes toward nightlife in coastal tourist destinations, offering insights for sustainable tourism development.
