NIGHTLIFE ABUSE

ENOUGH HUMILIATION, CRIMINALIZATION AND ABUSE!

Maurizio Pasca

"Enough Abuse in the Nightlife Sector!"

"I would like very much that ‪nightlife‬ went back to being what it once was. When pleasure of getting together, dancing, and having ‪fun in a healthy and safe way was stronger than anything else. Instead, I find myself today witness of a gradual dispersion of those values that once had great meaning and instead today are gradually disappearing.

Look at what ‪nightclubs have shown in the past, to have positive momentum towards the future: this is the task we must carry out to ensure nightlife ‪entertainment shines like before. The great importance it has within the ‪tourism economy, moreover, requires of us who love this area real effort and determination.

What I would like to convey is a new ‎nightclub concept. This concept definitely doesn't want to be a bad copy of the past but simply a positive emulation so that certain values are retrieved along with those of good management. What I dream about for ages is a real revolution, a revolution that will comes from all of us. Why not invite industry insiders to support this idea, creating a new nightclub concept. Those interested in developing a specific project, can contact me."

Maurizio Pasca is President of Italian Nightlife Association, Vice-President of Italian Hotel and Public Services Association, President of European Nightlife Association and Vice-President of International Nightlife Association.

International Nightlife Association Presents Comic

 

The International Nightlife Association presented a comic with a fictional heroine character who gives advice and protects young people who go out at night

Maximum Fun, Minimum Disturbance!

The International Nightlife Association (INA), in collaboration with the European Nightlife Association (ENA), FECASARM (Catalan recreational music federation), Spain Nightlife, FEHR (Spain hospitality federation) and ASETS (Salou Tourist Area Business Association) presented a strong and innovative campaign coinciding with the start of new tourist season and "SALOUFEST 2016". 

Enjoy a responsible night!

The aim of this campaign is to prevent antisocial behaviour

with Lady Tabata

This civic campaign, sponsored by AUDIOTEC and GIBACARS, was revealed at a press conference 14 March at “Caffe di Mare” in Salou...

...and included the following personalities: [left to right]

• Maurizio Pasca - President of European Nightlife Association and Italian Nightlife Association
• Barbara Delmastro Meoni aka “Lady Tabata”
• Joaquim Boadas - General Secretary of FECASARM, Spain Nightlife and International Nightlife Association
• Elaine McParland - President of Salou Tourist Area Business Association 

This awareness campaign was presented to the public in a comic format for the first time. It will be an international campaign which they will export to other countries – and ultimately - worldwide. They timed it prior to the “SalouFest” as a tester for an international campaign because Salou has been severely criticized in recent years and accused of being problematic [some say not true]. Bearing this in mind, the International Nightlife Association, the European Nightlife Association, FECASARM, Spain Nightlife, FEHR and the Salou Tourist Area Business Association decided together to do as much as possible to prevent unsociable behaviour during the celebration of this year’s event. 

Their objective is to regain the event’s previous good reputation and is why they decided to launch this international campaign for the first time in Salou as a tester in the lead-up to the new tourist season and "SalouFest".

They aim to make the young tourists and students aware of dangers and negative consequences should they behave in a certain way while out celebrating. The comic presents these suggestions in a light-hearted and easily understandable way.
