Night fever
Article Abstract:
A study of people attending UK nightclubs found 32% felt admission charges were too high in 1998 compared to 45% in 1996. Some 64% felt drinks were too costly in nightclubs, in 1996, but only 50% agreed in 1998. The nightclub market has been adversely affected by the new types of outlets combining bars and clubs. They do not have an admission charges which helps to increase their popularity. Some of the bigger nightclubs have been forced to close and overall the number of outlets has fallen, during 1996-1998, by 11%. Spending in clubs has also declined during 1998.

The time, the place
Article Abstract:

Consumers are constantly looking to be entertained while they shop which allows branded products to become a leisure activity in their own right. The success of Niketown in the US has increased sales dramatically, with 60% of visitors purchasing Nike products after visiting the centre. Food bars and coffee houses are establishing a greater hold in shopping centres as consumers become more sophisticated.

Article Abstract:
There was significant growth in the UK leisure industry in 1997. Private sector leisure operators made large investments, while the public sector benefited from National Lottery funding and from improved links with the private sector. The industry is set to continue to expand in 1998, with private leisure operators looking to establish a strong presence in Europe. Plans for a United Kingdom Sports Institute and a National Stadium will boost the industry, and renewed emphasis will be placed on tourism.
