Full textAbstract:
Films or movies provide us with a window into other places that broaden our knowledge and can fuel our desire to travel. What has become known as film-induced tourism has begun to gather momentum as an area of both academic research and industry interest. However, the phenomenon is wide-ranging and according to Beeton (2005), still a largely untapped and little-understood field of tourism research. Much of the literature to date has focused on the promotional aspects and the impacts of the phenomenon with little research into the motivations of the film-induced tourists themselves. Further, films are not always shot in the place where they are portraying on screen. This has become a common occurrence and it is not unusual for a film to be made in a completely different country from that it portrays. This form of displacement creates issues of authenticity and implications as to where the tourist influenced by such a film will choose to visit. This aspect in film tourism has been mentioned briefly by authors such as Beeton (2005), Hudson and Ritchie (2006) and Shandley et al. (2006) but they have not conducted investigations themselves and to date there have been no in-depth research studies into this aspect of the phenomenon. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate what the author has termed displacement theory within the larger phenomenon of film-induced tourism and to present a clearer understanding of the inherent implications and opportunities for economic development this may bring. Within this the author sought to examine film influence on tourist motivation, tourist views on displacement and authenticity as well as industry opinion on these matters. An interpretivistic research approach was taken utilizing the power of the internet and harnessing the use of specially created blogs to collect qualitative data. The approach was designed to extract data in depth with a select set of bloggers rather than at a superficial level across a wider number of respondents through quantitative survey work. This was then followed up by semi-structured interviews with respective tourism and film organizations throughout the UK and Ireland. Findings reveal that these issues do matter to tourists and that there are three distinct markets in existence which comprise three distinct tourist types in relation to film- induced tourism. This has enabled the author to develop a model of displacement (the first such model in this field of study) which conveys the motivational factors at play on the tourist and what is happening when displacement in film tourism occurs in relation to the three distinct markets. This is then utilized to make key recommendations as to how industry can maximize future potential from film-induced tourism, especially when displacement occurs. The thesis has covered new ground in its contribution to knowledge through addressing a gap in the film-induced tourism literature and providing new theories culminating in a newly developed model to represent what is occurring. Further contribution has been made through the use of innovative methodologies. In this case the use of specially designed blogs to gather qualitative data for the research.

Mestrado em Gestão e Planeamento em TurismoThe following dissertation discusses the topic of film-induced tourism in Portugal from the perspective of the Portuguese destination marketing organisations. As research concerning film tourism in Portugal was unavailable due to the novelty of the topic, primary research was developed through online survey questionnaires, case studies and interviews. The primary research conducted found that Portugal has all the necessary resources and attributes required to develop film tourism; however DMOs and film commissions need to work together to ensure that films are promoted in a way which can be beneficial to both the tourism sector and the film industry.
O presente trabalho aborda o tema do cineturismo em Portugal pela perspetiva das associações de promoção turística portuguesas. Dada a escassez de investigação sobre cineturismo em Portugal, devido à novidade do tema, foi desenvolvida investigação primária através de inquéritos por questionário, estudos de caso e entrevistas. A investigação primária conduzida concluiu que Portugal detém todos os recursos e atributos necessários para desenvolver o cineturismo, no entanto as associações de promoção turística e as film commissions necessitam de trabalhar em conjunto para garantir que os filmes são promovidos de uma forma que pode ser benéfica para o setor do turismo e para a indústria do cinema.

Full textAbstract:
The principal purpose of this thesis is to investigate the relationships between film genres and the decision-making process of the tourist. Within the tourism industry, the specific type of tourism-Film Tourism-has recently been recognised and approached in several research projects and case-studies. As a result of these efforts, the researchers agree that, in certain conditions, a film may influence the decision of the viewer to travel to the destination that such film portrays. However, due to the recent recognition of this type of tourism and consequent low number of explanatory research in this area, there is an evident lack of understanding about the underlying reasons why films may have such a stimulating effect on tourist decisions. To develop deeper understanding of this newly emerged type of tourism, it is vital to research different elements of the film and their possible effects on tourism-related decisions of the viewer. This pioneering study focuses on the previously neglected “genre” element of the film and the role of this element in the overall influence of the film on the tourist’s decision making process. Accordingly, an extensive survey (n=241) was conducted, implemented via the Internet and to randomly selected Exeter residents. The survey was followed by a series of in-depth semi-structured interviews (n=10) of randomly selected respondents from Exeter. The results suggest that film genres may affect the motivational factors, such as Exciting and Achievement (Yoon and Uysal, 2005). Moreover, emotions are an important factor in the decisions of Film Tourists (Kim, 2012), and films of specific genres may infuse destination with such emotions, alter the destination image and create an interest in the destination. The major contribution of this study is the discovery that the effect of film genres on the Film Tourist is but a small subconscious part of the overall film influence, which encompasses a wider range of elements such as visual beauty, plot, actors, credibility and the atmosphere. Moreover, it would appear that, for most tourists, film is an additional and not a primary factor which creates a wish to travel. The visual portrayal of the destination is the key element which determines whether the film will affect the decision of the viewer to travel, but the genres of the film may allow the prediction of tourist type and possible travel behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
Movie and literary tourism is a genre that has been recognized around the world for a long time but that has only recently got a grip on Sweden. More and more famous books are being cinematized and because of the success of these movies we can now walk in the traces of Wallander as well as the Millenniummovies. The focus of this study is mainly about the tourists’ motivation when it comes to this form of tourism and the purpose is to try understand what needs come in to play when a movie and literary tourism attraction is chosen. The study objects are two movie and literary walks which are based on books and movies with a fictitious storyline. The performed research was based on a multiple strategy with the qualitative method - consisting of respondent and informant interviews - in focus and the quantitative investigation - in the form of an one-page questionnaire - more as a complement. On the basis of the most fundamental theory of motivation in general (Maslow, 1970) and the tourism research’s more specific travel motivation theory (Pearce, 2005), the conditions for movie and literature as sorts of tourism have been made clear. Additionally, with the help of an additional motivation theory as well as several articles within the area of movie and literary tourism, this study has made an attempt to reach a more narrow theory for movie and literary tourism. The results from the research show that movie and literary tourism is a highly qualified tourism genre where the visitors’ needs are highly set and the motivation is primarily focused on self-development and the experience of new things. Also the possibility to exchange reality for a fictional surrounding and getting the opportunity to fantasize are highly prioritized motivation aspects. Movie and literary tourism is a big future area within the tourism industry, but before its potential can be fully understood and exploited, more research is needed.Film- och litteraturturism är en genre som länge haft stort underlag i utlandet, men som först på senare år har fått fäste även i Sverige. Allt fler kända verk filmatiseras och blir till succéer och som en följd av detta kan vi idag vandra i så väl Wallanders som i Millenniumfilmernas spår. I denna studie ligger koncentrationen främst på turisternas motivation när det kommer till denna form av turism och syftet är att försöka förstå vilka behovsaspekter som spelar in när attraktioner baserade på film- och litteratur väljs. Fokus ligger på två film- och litteraturvandringar vilka bygger på böcker och filmer vars handlingar är rent fiktiva. Studien som utförts bygger på en flerfaldig strategi med den kvalitativa metoden – bestående av respondent och informantintervjuer - i fokus och den kvantitativa undersökningen – i form av en kortare enkät - mer som ett komplement. Utifrån den mest grundläggande teorin för motivation i allmänhet (Maslow, 1970) och turismforskningens mer specifika resemotivationsteori (Pearce, 2005) så har förutsättningarna för film och litteratur som turismart klarlagts, och med hjälp av ytterligare en motivationsteori samt flera artiklar inom området film- och litteraturturism har denna studie gjort ett försök i att nå fram till en mer avsmalnad teori kring just film- och litteraturturism. Resultatet av studien visar på att film- och litteraturturism är en högkvalificerad turismgenre där besökarnas behov är högt ställda och motivationen i första hand ligger i att utveckla sig själv och uppleva nya saker. Även möjligheten att byta ut verkligheten mot en påhittad omgivning och att få tillfälle att fantisera sig bort är högprioriterade motivationsaspekter. Film- och litteraturturism är ett stort framtida område inom turismen, men innan dess potential kan förstås och utnyttjas till fullo krävs mer forskning.

Film tourism is fast becoming a recognised and lucrative sector within the tourism industry. Film tourism combines knowledge from the tourism industry with that of the film industry in such a manner that it offers an attractive opportunity that can be included when marketing South Africa as a destination.
The purpose of the study is to explore the attractiveness of the film tourism market for destinations, identify the unique aspects involved when marketing a destination though film tourism, explore the marketing strategies used by the local South African DMOs and local and foreign film commissions/offices in attracting international film producers, determine what local South African DMOs and local and foreign film commissions/offices perceive as important factors in attracting international film producers, determine and describe the factors influencing international film producers’ selection of a location, determine international film producers’ perceptions of South Africa as a film location in terms of these factors, develop a model for promoting South Africa as an ideal film location to international film producers and then relate the developed model to guidelines in accordance with the services marketing mix (7 Ps).
The results obtained identified a number of factors that influence international film producers’ selection of a location and the model can be used to assist DMOs in developing effective marketing strategies in order to attract international film producers to South Africa. This was a qualitative study where three data collection instruments were used on four participant groups; secondary data was also analysed. It was found that South African DMOs do not yet have a working relationship with the relevant film industry leaders; that local film commissions’/offices’ current marketing activities are in line with foreign film commissions’/offices’ marketing strategies; that local DMOs and local and foreign film commissions/offices are more often than not aware of the factors influencing international film producers’ selection of a location and that South Africa has a positive image as a film destination.
This research contributes to tourism literature by developing a model and suggesting guidelines that could be used by South African DMOs to attract more international film producers to the country and thus ultimately increase the number of film tourists who visit. All South African DMOs should consider the suggested guidelines when developing a marketing strategy for promoting South Africa as a preferred film destination to international film producers.Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2014.

Full textAbstract:
Ystad har under lång tid varit en populär turistdestination för svenska och utländska besökare. Staden med dess omnejd har genom den fina miljön och dess historiska byggnader goda förutsättningar att attrahera turister till regionen. Efter filmatiseringarna av Henning Mankells romaner om kriminalkommissarie Kurt Wallander, som utspelas i Ystad, har antalet turister ökat än mer till regionen. Förhållandet mellan böcker och filmer är en väsentlig del av den turism som uppstår efter en berättelse om en fiktiv karaktär i en existerande miljö. Vi ville följaktligen undersöka film- litteraturturism och dess påverkan på en plats. För att genomföra studien tillämpades en kvalitativ metod med kvalitativa intervjuer. Film- och litteraturturism ökar i omfattning inom turismindustrin och det är därav relevant att studera dess existens och betydelse för en plats. Resultaten i studien visar att effekterna på en destination vid film- och litteraturturism är många. När en plats skildras i en berättelse genom filmer eller böcker får platsen en "helig" betydelse för dess största entusiaster. Platsen som skildras kan även använda filmerna och böckerna som marknadsföringsmetod och genom den stärka sitt varumärke. Dock bör samarbeten mellan offentliga och privata aktörer fungera väl för att kunna utnyttja fördelarna med platsbunden film- och litteraturturism på bästa möjliga vis.Ystad is a popular tourist destination for Swedish and foreign visitors, and has been for a long time. The city with its nice environment and its historic buildings attract tourists to the region. After filming Henning Mankell's novels about criminal inspector Kurt Wallander, set in Ystad, the number of tourists has increased even more to the region. The relationship between books and movies is an essential part of the tourism that occurs after a story about a fictional character in an existing environment. We would therefore consider movie and literary tourism and its impact on a location interesting to examine. To conduct the study a qualitative approach with qualitative interviews. was applied. Film and literature tourism is increasing in the tourism industry and it is hence relevant to study its existence and significance of a place. The results of the study show that the effects of a destination in film and literature tourism are numerous. When a place is illustrated through movies or books it may get a "sacred" aspect for its biggest enthusiasts. The location depicted may also use the films and the books as a marketingiimethod and through the strengthening of its brand. However, collaboration between public and private actors works well in order to take advantage of location-based film and literary tourism in the best possible way.

Full textAbstract:
As architectures of the sea, cruise ships are unique, but under-explored spaces of travel and tourism. Characterised by their bounded, mobile and transient distinctiveness, a ship’s inner spaces are inhabited by an onboard community of people for purposes of work or leisure. Framed by the notion of cruise ships as imagined geographies, the primary focus of this study is to interpret and critically explore the discourses of popular films and what these reveal about cruise ships as distinctive socio-cultural spaces of travel and tourism. Embracing Michel Foucault and his influential work on discourse, knowledge and power, popular films are positioned as sites of knowledge production through which particular regimes of truth are constituted. The approach to the analysis of popular films in this study, acknowledges the multisensory nature of film and how such spatial constructs are experienced in and through the imagination, emotion and memory. Conceptualised as liminal spaces which can be temporarily inhabited and travelled through, my embodiments of Carry On Cruising [1962], Ship of Fools [1965] and Titanic [1997] are reflexive in their approach, enabling me to draw on my own experiences of living and working on cruise ships. My voyages with the three films that form the archive of data for the purposes of this study, reveals a uniform set of discourses that engender specific imaginings about travel and vacations at sea. Although different in genre, these films all contribute in varying ways to the notion of ships as hedonistic pleasure spaces of promiscuity and romantic pursuit. Through this archaeological endeavour my excavations also unveil a set of more nuanced and subtle discourses surrounding gender, employment practises, the spatial organisation of ships and shipboard rituals, all of which contribute to particular ways of seeing cruise ships and the cruise experience. In the context of tourism studies, this research makes a methodological contribution in its approach to visuality, discourse and film. Moreover this thesis contributes to a greater understanding of the discursive structures of popular films and what these reveal about the spatial constructs of passengers ships and their embodied cultural practices.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research is to create a method and measure the influence of fictional film media in potential tourists� destination decision-making, using a quasi-experimental method. Film tourism researchers have implied that film plays a direct role in generating tourism. In this research, however, it is proposed that film plays an indirect role through the construction of meaning of place, and therefore destination awareness, availability and evaluation.
A two-part multiphase quasi-experimental method was created and implemented to identify change in a destination�s image due to watching a film. Part One. was qualitative in nature and implemented to discover destination image attributes (evaluative components and decision-making factors) used in destination selection (survey n=202, in-depth interviews n=10). Part One concluded with the compilation of a list of relevant, clear and efficient attributes for Part Two. The list maintained sufficient diversity to define destination image, and was composed of 21 decision-making factors and 40 evaluative components. Part Two then measured the destination�s image, and change in that image due to watching a feature film (pre and post survey n=67). Change in this quasi-experimental method was assessed by the importance of the attributes being measured, the influence of the film on these attributes and most importantly the combined effect of the film on these attributes.
The Vertical Ray of the Sun, a film set in Vietnam, was used to apply and test this innovative quasi-experimental method. The application assessed not only the effect of the film on Vietnam�s image, but also the applicability of the method. The film positively influenced the respondents� image of Vietnam. The film had a measured effect on more than half of the attributes. That noted, the actual number of attributes affected to the marked level were 17 out of 61 for the difference in means and only 11 for the eta� value. Consequently, whilst the film positively affected the image of Vietnam, most of the attributes still needed significant change to modify tourism demand.
The thesis importantly contributed to the study of destination image methodologically by asserting the need to assess the importance, influence and effect. This new method can and should be implemented to assess and monitor the effects of many events. This research also contributed by introducing a quasi-experimental cumulative importance-influence measure of effect. The contribution was highlighted in that those attributes with a large influence did not always have a large effect on the destination�s image. Neither performance by itself, nor importance by itself, can be used as a final effect measure.
Finally, this research supports other film-induced tourism studies: film does influence destination image. As presented in more recent studies film-tourism is more likely to be an incidental experience than a reason to visit a place. These more recent studies too may underplay the role of film by focusing on film as an attraction or activity, rather than its role in the actual decision to visit. This research has contributed to film tourism research by highlighting that film can still play a role in the decision-making process, even though it may not be an attraction or a desired experience in itself.

Film tourism is a widely growing phenomenon with various benefits the filmed location can take advantage of. This study examines the impacts of a Turkish television series named Kavak Yelleri on its screened location, a Turkish Aegean Seaside town named Seferihisar. Besides the impacts of the series, the relationship between the screened location and the film crew is studied. This case includes a further particular feature; the screened location in Kavak Yelleri is named after another existing town, Urla, in the storyline, while it is actually filmed in Seferihisar. A qualitative case study approach has been implemented in order to scrutinize the subject. The empirical data was conducted through interviews with the municipality of Seferihisar and its local people, local people of Urla, and an interview with a member from the film crew of Kavak Yelleri. a) It becomes evident that the television series has positive social and economical impacts on Seferihisar. The power of media and the presence of the film crew are the main contributors. b) The discrepancy of location name between reality and storyline has affected the path of the film tourists. c) A well handled relationship between the screened location and film crew can have valuable implications for tourism.

Full textAbstract:
This study seeks to gain an insight into the experiences Lord of the Rings tourists have on guided tours in New Zealand and the role of the tour guide(s) in that experience. The study examines motivations, expectations, actual experience and its evaluation and the role of the tour leader and guides. By drawing primarily on the results of qualitative research that examined the experience of film tourists and other people involved in the film tourism industry over a span of three years, I identified underlying motivations involved in the production and consumption of film tourism. The study found that pre-tour images of Lord of the Rings and its publicity surrounding the making of the films play a significant role in the formation of film tourists' expectations. The emotional relationship towards the films and the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien had motivated film tourists to seek a meaningful and sincere experience. Furthermore, the film and its making as discussed on the DVDs, further publicised myths like the authenticity of the film production itself and the experience of great meaning for one's personal life. Consequently, the study found that most film tourists put a high significance on the sincerity of the relationships within the tour community and with the tour leader and guide(s). The film location visit itself was experienced as highly rewarding but was significantly enhanced by the presence of the tour community ('fellowship'), reenactments and the physical presence on site. This embodiment was crucial for the overall experience as it further authenticated the location visit but also the journey itself as a worthy and spiritual endeavour. It was shown that the New Zealand image of 'green', 'clean' and 'exotic otherness' has been reinforced by multiple media portraits and matches many aspects of the Middle-earth image. All film tourists judged the use of New Zealand for the portrayal of Middle-earth as 'authentic' even if they knew about J.R.R. Tolkien's British background. Furthermore, they judged their film tourism experience as authentic even though the locations were used in a fictional setting. Thus the notions of object authenticity was explored and replaced with the concepts of existential authenticity and sincerity to shift the focus towards the active process of negotiation of authenticity in the tourism experience. To understand tourists' behaviour and motivation, notions of 'spirituality' and 'pilgrimage' were also employed. The study tourists undertook a meaningful and spiritually significant journey that was enhanced through the experience of embodiment and community which suggested parallels between the religious pilgrim and the secular film tourist. Both are on a meaningful journey to distant places and follow scripted guidelines while also creating their own experience. Embodiment played an important role. Furthermore, film tourists sought the community of other believers and were willing to 'follow in the footsteps' of film stars and crew when choosing which film locations and eateries to visit as they sought places that had attained an 'aura'.

Literary tourism refers to any travel inspired by literature. This dissertation considers literary
tourism from the perspective of a contemporary literary tourism attraction. It investigates the
origins of literary tourism both in the historical context as well as in academic writing as
interdisciplinary research between geography and literature. The current state of literary
tourism research is also considered and the main research themes at present are identified,
that is, authenticity and who the literary tourists are. This study also considers what the future
might hold for literary tourism by looking at popular contemporary examples, including the
works of J.K. Rowling, G.R.R. Martin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Dan Brown, Stieg Larsson and L.J.
Smith. In this context, literary tourism’s reciprocal relationship with film tourism is unpacked.
This dissertation then moves on to discuss the main focus of this investigation. A mere
decade ago, the world was unaware of a book series called The Twilight Saga by Stephenie
Meyer. Yet in a few short years, the literary tourism associated with this series has turned a
small town in northwest Washington State into a tourism phenomenon. This study considers
the development, extent and impact of literary tourism on this town, called Forks. It also
considers other literary and film tourism sites associated with The Twilight Saga to show the
vast range of the impact literature can have on tourism.Dissertation (MHCS)--University of Pretoria, 2014.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to explain the incentives and travel patterns for people who have consumed popculture tourism. Pop-culture refers to popular products such as video-games, comic-books, literature, film and t.v-shows. Pop-culture tourism refers to destinations and attractions based on popular culture products such as conventions, events, exhibitions, theme parks and destinations. This study takes on a qualitative approach in order to do so. The results were then analyzed through four different theories; Bourdieu’s theory on different capitals, his theory on habitus, his theory on fields and Lundberg & Lexhagen’s figure: Pop-culture Tourism: A Research Model. The results showed that the respondents social upbringing and (social) media consumption plays a central role in order for individuals to consume and partake in pop-culture tourism. Results did also show that cultural capital and social capitals was prominent for individuals who consume and partake in popculture tourism.Denna studie har som syfte att belysa individers motiv och val att besöka pop-kultursrelaterade attraktioner och destinationer. Pop-kultur i denna uppsats syftar till populära produkter såsom tvspel, serietidningar, litteratur, film och tv-serier. Pop-kultursturism syftar till destinationer och attraktioner som är baserade på de sistnämnda vilket kan vara konventioner, event, utställningar, temaparker eller destinationer. Till denna studie har en kvalitativ ansats tillämpats för att besvara uppsatsens syfte och frågeställningar genom att utföra semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna analyserades sedan genom fyra olika teorier; Bourdieu’s teorier om kapital, fält och habitus samt Lundberg och Lexhagens modell “Pop-culture Tourism: A Research model”. Resultaten visade att exponering av pop-kultur i respondenternas uppväxt, sociala umgängen och (sociala) mediekonsumtion spelade en central roll i konsumtionen och deltagandet av pop-kultursturism. Resultaten visade även att kulturellt kapital (ett intresse av en viss pop-kulturell produkt) och socialt kapital (individens habitus) var betydande för individer som deltar i pop-kultursturism.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Comunicação SocialO film tourism é uma das tendências para a realização de promoção de destinos turísticos. Este conceito permite ligar a área da comunicação nos media e o turismo de uma forma estratégica. Este é um fenómeno recente e ocorre devido à expansão a nível mundial do crescimento da indústria do entretenimento, mas também, devido ao aumento da possibilidade de se viajar e do tempo de lazer. O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender como é realizada a promoção turística através de produtos cinematográficos. Serão explorados dois exemplos de sucesso como a Escócia e a Nova Zelândia, destinos turísticos que tiraram partido do film tourism para se promover estrategicamente e se afirmarem no sector do turismo em relação a outros destinos. Para responder aos objetivos traçados foi realizado um estudo qualitativo para compreender como a cidade de Lisboa foi promovida através do filme “Comboio noturno para Lisboa”. Concluindo que, o filme contribuiu como fonte de promoção turística e para o desenvolvimento do sector do turismo, em Lisboa.
Film tourism is one of the trends for promoting tourism destinations. This concept links the area of communication in the media and tourism in a strategic way. This is a recent phenomenon and is due to the worldwide expansion of the growth of the entertainment industry, but also due to the increased possibility of traveling and leisure time. The goal of this work is to understand how tourism promotion is carried out through cinematographic products. Two successful examples will be explored, such as Scotland and New Zealand, tourist destinations that have taken advantage of film tourism to promote themselves strategically and establish themselves in the tourism sector in relation to other destinations. In order to respond to the purposes outlined, a qualitative study was carried out to understand how the city of Lisbon was promoted through the analysis of the film "Night Train to Lisbon". We conclude that the film contributed as a source of tourism promotion and for the development of the tourism sector in Lisbon.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is an inventory of the general motivations of Swedish film tourists. The paper is based on a quantitative research survey to gain insight from Swedish film tourists in the matter of what it is in movies that are motivating them to travel. The motivations behind film tourists visiting film destinations in a qualitative perspective, are storytelling, authenticity, film tourists gaze and fandom. By travelling to film destinations tourists takes part of magical tourism experiences. The paper has a deductive view point to the subject of film tourists and the results from the survey are collected from communities on Facebook called Harry Potter-fans in Sweden, Star Wars Sweden and The lord of the ring-fans in Sweden. The result from the survey shows that Swedish film tourists from these communities are motivated by the terms of storytelling, authenticity, film tourists gaze and fandom and that they are all experiencing something extraordinary when they travel because of movies. The motivations are also the foundation and the general aspect of travelling to film destinations, which either push or pull the film tourists towards the film destinations.

Full textAbstract:
From screen image to imagined spaces, the Lord of the Rings film-tourism experience – that is, tourism to New Zealand apparently motivated by the popular film trilogy which was filmed there – has received much anecdotal attention, yet little scholarly examination. In particular, how tourists are affected by the “you’ve seen the movie, now visit the set!” adage, remains under-examined. Whilst sociologies of tourism tend to emphasize the visual, spectatorial and passive nature of mediated forms of tourism, actual experiences of visiting the former film sets tend to challenge such theorizations of the phenomenon. In fact, what we find in New Zealand is a touristic landscape marked only by its absences and virtualities- little remains to show of ‘Middle-earth on earth’, leaving us with the question of what it is that, as tourists, we actually consume, and on what basis the apparently visual causality of cinematic tourism can be sustained. This research thus employs recent scholarship in cultural geography attuned to the more-than-representational and affective realms, in order to build a conceptually novel approach to thinking through ‘the film-tourist’. Rather than starting out from a position of critique, such an approach seeks to explore the ‘operational logics’ of tourist experience, how meaning is made through practices of popular culture consumption and tourism. Through a consideration of how tourists navigate these complex cinematic spaces, we find that visitors – both those who are fans or enthusiasts of The Lord of the Rings, and those who are simply ‘doing a rings thing’ as part of a broader touristic itinerary – engage in a range of animated practices, that demonstrate both an awareness of these multiply-mediated spaces, and an interest not only in ‘walking in the footsteps’ of Frodo and the fellowship, but also in the ‘backstage’ of the films’ production, and the very creation of ‘Middle earth- on earth’ in New Zealand.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last decade, film location tourism has been established as a niche segment in the tourism industry. While this niche has attracted attention from both researchers and marketers alike, not much knowledge has been accumulated about the tourist encounter itself. It is the main purpose of this thesis to research on-site behavioural and experiential aspects of the film location encounter.
For the overall research design, an inductive, comparative case-study approach was implemented. Three cases were selected for this research: The Lord of the Rings locations in New Zealand, The Sound of Music locations in Austria and Star Wars locations in Tunisia. The applied methods are participant observation, image-based data and semi-structured interviews. The data collection was conducted while participating in organised film location tows in order to secure access to the informants.
The first fundamental outcome of this research is that there is no 'film location tourist' as such. People who travel to film locations come from different socio-economic backgrounds, comprise all age groups and possess varying degrees of fandom. The majority of film location tourists, however, have one thing in common, regardless of the underlying movie genre: the longing to connect with the imaginary world of the film by visiting the physical and thus 'real' location places. These places are consumed in two ways: as places of spectacle and as sacred places.
The nature of the location consumption is dependent on a number of factors, including the degree of fandom of the consumers, the attractiveness of the encountered locations, the consistency of the interpretive community, the amount and nature of external distortions and, if applicable, the structure of the location tour. Means of consumption of film locations as spectacle are formal posing, sight recordings and shot re-creations. When experiencing film locations as sacred places, shot re-creations, mental simulations and filmic re-enactments occur. The latter form of consumption can result in a symbiosis between the imaginary and the real place component: the gazing subject becomes the previously (photographed) object.
Regardless of the degree of experiential satisfaction, film location tourists want to bring some of the magic back home. This is achieved not only via mental pictures and physical photographs, but also through souvenirs. These can be off- or on-site. Regarding the latter, these souvenirs are almost holy relics, brought home from a successful pilgrimage and subsequently framed and displayed in an altar-like fashion. The benefits from this are not only self-pride and satisfaction, but also the distinction to other movie fans who have not been able to do the journey themselves. Thus, the person in possession of such a relic gains privileged status amongst peers which in turn raises the satisfaction with the location encounter.
The film location experience cycle comes to a full closure by re-watching the movie. This procedure involves a renewed connection to both the imaginary filmic places as well as the real locations visited. The filmic gaze is extended, as the movie scenes are now seen as part of a real place which extends beyond the filmic sight.
Keywords: Film location tourism - multiple, comparative on-site case study inquiry - film locations as spatial and temporal constructs - the film location tourist encounter - behavioural and experiential interactions with place.

Full textAbstract:
Although previous research has widely acknowledged the phenomenon of film-induced tourism, there is a paucity of research in relation to management of film-induced tourism at built heritage sites. This research, underpinned by a constructivist paradigm, draws on three distinct fields of study – heritage tourism management, film-induced tourism and heritage interpretation – in order to provide a contribution to the heritage management field and address this particular gap in knowledge. Relying on the method of semi-structured interviews with managers, guides and visitors at Rosslyn Chapel (RC) and Alnwick Castle (AC), this thesis provides a rich understanding of how heritage interpretation can address a range of management challenges at heritage sites where film-induced tourism has occurred. These heritage visitor attractions (HVAs) were specifically selected as case studies as they have played different roles in media products. Rosslyn Chapel (RC) was an actual place named in The Da Vinci Code (TDVC) book and then film, whereas Alnwick Castle (AC) served as a backdrop for the first two Harry Potter (HP) films. Findings of this research include a range of management challenges at both RC and AC such as an increase in visitor numbers; seasonality issues; changes in visitor profile; revenue generation concerns; conservation, access, and visitor experience; and the complex relationship between heritage management and tourism activities. The findings also reveal film-induced tourism's implications for heritage interpretation such as the various visitors' expectations for heritage interpretation, changes to heritage interpretation as a result of film-induced tourism, and issues with commodification. These findings also demonstrate that film-induced tourism to some extent influenced visitors' preferences for heritage interpretation, though visitors' preferences differed from one to another. This thesis argues that, in the context of film-induced tourism at HVAs, as evident from the two case studies considered, heritage interpretation can be a valuable management tool and can also play a significant role in the quality of the visitors' experience.

Full textAbstract:
Film-induced tourism, or film tourism, is in a simplified sense the phenomenon that occurs when a person visits a place selected by inspiration from a film/TV series. A prerequisite for film tourism is that within a film/TV series, features appear that inspires the viewer to visit either recording locations or other places associated with the film/TV series. In the study of film tourism, destination image plays a central role, which can be explained as an individual's collection of expectations, ideas, feelings, and impressions that have been built up over time for a destination. This study aims to help fill a knowledge gap that includes studies of how films or TV series with negative/controversial content affect the viewer's perceptions and mental images of a destination image. More specifically, the study will focus on the TV series Peaky Blinders and Birmingham, England. Through the theory section, a theoretical framework is established in which, among other things, it is being described how previous research have focused on film tourism, destination image, motivation, and commitment. Furthermore, a conceptual model is created that clarifies the basis of our study and which also forms the cornerstone of the research design. The study includes a quantitative approach where three hypotheses are put and then tested against the data collection, which is gathered through a digital survey where the sample consists of Peaky Blinders fans. The results show the cognitive, affective, and conative image of Birmingham found by spectators of Peaky Blinders and explains how the commitment to the TV series affects these aspects. Conclusions are drawn by accepting the hypotheses, which is that the commitment to Peaky Blinders affects the cognitive, affective, and conative image of Birmingham.Film-inducerad turism, eller filmturism, är i förenklad mening det fenomen som uppstår när en människa besöker en plats som valts ut genom inspiration från en film/TV-serie. En förutsättning för filmturism är att det inom en film/TV-serie framkommer särdrag som uppmanar åskådaren till att besöka antingen inspelningsplatser eller andra platser som förknippas med filmen/TV-serien. Inom studiet av filmturism spelar destinationsimage en central roll, vilket kan förklaras som en individs samling av förväntningar, idéer, känslor och intryck som har byggts upp med tiden för en destination. Denna studie ämnar bidra till att fylla en kunskapslucka vilken innefattar undersökningar av hur filmer eller TV-serier med en negativ/kontroversiell handling påverkar åskådarnas uppfattningar och mentala bilder av en destinations image. Mer specifikt kommer studien att fokusera på TV-serien Peaky Blinders och Birmingham, England. Genom teoriavsnittet etableras ett teoretiskt ramverk där det bland annat redogörs för hur tidigare forskning fokuserat på filmturism, destinationsimage, motivation samt engagemang. Vidare skapas en konceptuell modell som tydliggör grunden för vår studie och som även utgör grundstenen i utformandet av forskningsdesignen. Studien innefattar ett kvantitativt angreppssätt där tre hypoteser ställs för att sedan testas mot datainsamlingen, som sker genom en digital enkätundersökning där urvalet består av fans till Peaky Blinders. Resultaten visar den kognitiva, affektiva och konativa image av Birmingham som finns hos åskådare av Peaky Blinders samt redogör även för hur engagemanget för TV-serien påverkar dessa aspekter. Slutsatser dras genom ett accepterande av de ställda hypoteserna, vilket innebär att engagemanget för Peaky Blinders påverkar den kognitiva, affektiva samt konativa imagen av Birmingham.

DeLassus, Leslie Marie. "Salvage historiography: viewing, special effects, and Norman O. Dawn's unpreserved archive." Diss., University of Iowa, 2016. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/2203.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation excavates the work of early special effects cinematographer Norman O. Dawn in order to explore film spectatorship, the ephemerality of the cinematic image, and motion picture preservation and archival practices. Best known for his innovations of glass and matte shot techniques, Dawn produced 861 composite images while working in the U.S. film industry between 1906 and 1954. Although technological film historians acknowledge the importance of Dawn’s innovations to the development of motion picture special effects, the composite images themselves as well as the films for which they were produced remain in relative obscurity. Rather than attempting to recover these objects for inclusion in an existing film canon, my research interrogates their obscurity by analyzing Dawn’s special effects processes against the broader economic concerns that inform the dominant practices of the US film industry during the first half of the twentieth-century.
My research begins with the Norman O. Dawn collection housed at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, which is the most comprehensive historical record of Dawn’s work in the film industry. Constructed by Dawn himself between 1962 and 1974, this collection consists of 164 poster-sized collages of archival ephemera that illustrate the special effects processes employed in the production of 235 composite images for eighty-five films. While these eighty-five film titles constitute a tentative corpus upon which to base my research, seventy of these films are lost, which raises questions concerning the relationship between motion picture preservation and film history, specifically why these films have not been preserved while others have and to what extent the economic imperatives of the film industry have determined these conditions.
I address these questions in my analysis of archival material related to these films, finding that they traverse several distinct domains of film practice—including early scenic footage for newsreels and the amusement park ride Hale’s Tours of the World, early one-reel travel films, silent-era studio shorts, serials, and B features, and poverty row and independently-produced silent and sound feature-length films—thereby situating Dawn’s special effects at the intersection of the early and contemporary cinematic modes often aligned in studies of cinematic special effects. I argue that this heterogeneous corpus points to a studio-era Hollywood cinema alternative to the classical model, largely forgotten because it is dominated by low-budget product intended to supplement more costly feature films. In contrast to the classical model, this alternate cinematic mode emphasizes the scenic and thrilling elements that characterize both early exhibitionist films and contemporary effects-driven blockbusters. In this context, Dawn’s special effects processes constitute a historically marginalized practice precisely because they are non-routine techniques that provide cost-effective means to produce otherwise economically infeasible scenes, and, as such, operate on the periphery of conventional film production.

This diploma thesis analyzes the development potential of film tourism for the domestic tourism of the Czech Republic. The aim is to determine whether the Czech Republic is perceived by residents as an attractive tourist destination for leisure or vacation and if they would be interested in film tourism products. The introductory chapter is devoted to the definition of basic concepts relating to tourism and destination marketing. The second theoretical part pays attention to film tourism and its characterization, including the definition of the concept, history of the development of film tourism, typology of film tourists and a description of its forms and products. Closely are described the possibilites of using the film as a destination marketing tool in the different life stages of the film (before, during and after filming) and the function of individual institutions dedicated to the promotion of film regions in the country. The practical part analyzes the development potential of film tourism in the Czech Republic, which is based on the analysis of secondary sources and a survey among residents. The attention is payed to the popularity of czech film production, the current state of the domestic tourism and to the offer of film tourism products in the Czech Republic. The last chapter is devoted to the proposal of a solution of film tourism product for a selected destination of the Czech Republic - Usti Region.

Leotta, Alfio. "Touring the screen: New Zealand film geographies and the textual tourist." Thesis, University of Auckland, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/2292/5762.
Full textAbstract:
This study examines the relation between cinematic representations of New Zealand and the tourist imagery of the country. In particular, this thesis will focus on the textual analysis of four films shot in New Zealand: The Piano (dir. Jane Campion, 1993), Whale Rider (dir. Niki Caro, 2002) , The Last Samurai (dir. Edward Zwick, 2003), The Lord of the Rings trilogy (dir. Peter Jackson, 2001-2003). These primary texts are particularly relevant as they have all been used as marketing tools to attract tourists to New Zealand or specific locations within the country. This work draws upon an approach based on the theoretical premises of structuralist semiotics to investigate the way in which the selected films construct their viewers as potential tourists. The representation of space and characters in these texts can, in fact, generate an imaginative and cognitive activity that may, in turn, interpellate the physical and simulated mobility typical of tourist practice. The textual and semiotic analysis of selected film features is complemented by a historiographical overview of New Zealand cinema, which emphasizes the cultural, social and historical specificity of Aotearoa/New Zealand in the development of a 'national' film landscape. This perspective foregrounds the significance that the colonial past of the country has for New Zealand contemporary society. Thus, I argue that the conflation of a tourist gaze with a filmic one is rooted in the colonial history of New Zealand cinema. In turn, the affinity between the modes of vision of both the tourist and the settler is determined by their common need to make sense of an unfamiliar land by framing it within familiar conventions. The thesis also investigates the strategies adopted by local tourist authorities in order to promote each film and its film locations. This is supported by the analysis of selected tourist products, tourist circuits, guidebooks, brochures and sites, related to the four case studies. More broadly, the examination of these texts is linked to a discussion of the relationship between film and tourist discourses.

Full textAbstract:
To travel in the footsteps of movies and books is something that attracts more and more tourists and the research in the field has often focused on the motivation of tourists when choosing a destination. This study instead focuses on how the businesses that organize the attractions work. The purpose of this essay is to investigate how some operators in tourism in Stockholm and Ystad work to attract tourists to the Wallander and Millennium walks with a focus on the formation of the tours and digital marketing. The method used is qualitative. Three interviews are conducted with informants from Stadsmuseet, Ystad Studios Visitor Center and Stockholm Business Region. In addition to the interviews digital marketing is analyzed in the form of websites and social media. The results of the study show that there are not that many products linked to Wallander and Millennium, besides the tours, and no new ones are developed since no new books are being published. The digital marketing has reduced during the last few years, especially for Millennium, because of the interest decreasing. But these city tours attract tourists to the destinations since they are travel reasons and they contribute to an increased knowledge and an attractive image of the place.Att resa i filmers och böckers fotspår är något som lockar allt fler turister och forskning inom området har ofta fokuserat på turisternas motivation vid valet av destination. Denna studie fokuserar istället på hur verksamheterna som arrangerar attraktionerna arbetar. Syftet för denna studie är att undersöka hur några aktörer inom turism i Stockholm och Ystad arbetar med att locka turister till Wallander- och Millenniumvandringarna med fokus på utformning av rundturerna och digital marknadsföring. Metoden som används är kvalitativ. Tre intervjuer genomförs med informanter från Stadsmuseet, Ystad Studios Visitor Center och Stockholm Business Region. Utöver intervjuerna analyseras även digital marknadsföring i form av hemsidor och sociala medier. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att det inte finns så många produkter med koppling till Wallander och Millennium, förutom stadsvandringarna, och det utvecklas inte några nya eftersom det inte publiceras nya böcker. Den digitala marknadsföringen har minskat de senaste åren, speciellt för Millennium, på grund av att intresset har sjunkit. Men dessa stadsvandringar lockar turister till destinationerna eftersom de är reseanledningar och de bidrar till en ökad kännedom och en attraktiv bild av platsen.

Full textAbstract:
Since the invention of the cinema, people have been taking home movies. The ever- increasing popularity of this activity has produced a hundred years worth of amateur film culture which is in desperate need of preservation. As film archival and public history have coalesced in the past thirty years around the idea that every person's history is important, home movies represent a way for those histories to be preserved and studied by communities and researchers alike. The University of Central Florida is in a perfect position to establish an archive of this nature, one that is specifically dedicated to acquiring, preserving, and presenting the home movies of Central Florida residents. This project has resulted in the establishment of The Central Florida Home Movie Archive, and the resulting analysis will show that the archive will be a benefit for researchers from all areas of academic study as well as the residents of Central Florida.ID: 029049897; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Thesis (M.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2010.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 83-84).

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this research study is to develop a model of information that will enable media conglomerates and other companies, with theme park investments, to make informed and effective decisions based on scholarly and empirical evidences. In order to do this, the following research study uses historic, scholarly, journalistic, and focus group evidences to consolidate the information necessary to create a model to support concepts and designs. The paper begins with establishing why it is important for media conglomerates, with theme park investments, to integrate cinema into the park’s design. Then it looks back through the history of cinema and theme parks, identifying the similarities and differences. Furthermore, it analyzes the development of Universal Studios Hollywood and Disneyland. The study uses the history of Hollywood from its beginning to the decentralization to parallel the development of the movie-based theme park, and how the decentralization of Hollywood and the rise of the movie-based theme park support one another. As the idea of the convergence of one media with another is not a new concept, information on media convergence is used as part of the scholarly research in this area. Because movies and movie-based attractions are each forms of storytelling, the study includes prolific information on media, film, literary, and psychological theories as supporting evidence. The empirical research method utilized in the research, specific to this study, includes four focus groups in Florida, New York City, Cincinnati, and Los Angeles and one interview with a theme park president. Throughout the study, concepts of narrative, spectacle, pleasure, character, and setting are addressed in terms of how these elements work in movies and movie-based theme park attractions.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the history of European integration in the 1950s and 1960s from a popular cultural perspective anchored to a central figure from the era, Brigitte Bardot, in order to demonstrate that the peoples of Western Europe were engaged in processes of Europeanization that helped legitimize economic and political unions. Yet, official EU policy’s privileging of one (outdated) mode for understanding culture has handicapped alternative interpretations of a common European cultural heritage, failing to embrace a shared popular culture. Bardot is a suitable icon through which to begin an exploration into the diversity and significance of an integrating postwar European popular culture because she was a microcosm of several broad, transnational trends in postwar Europe including the rise of mass mobility, a major shift in European fashions, new gender constructions, and the explicit politicization of popular culture. Her films, career, lifestyle, and representation(s) provide key axes from which one can pivot into interrelated areas of European culture and societies in this era—pop culture; consumer culture; youth culture; mobility culture; media culture; political culture; and gender relations—demonstrating a widely integrating European popular cultural sphere. Within this context, Bardot was representative of broad postwar societal changes, served as a mass diffusion tool in relating these changes to the people of Europe, and functioned as a driving force in creating new transnational popular cultural forms. In addition, Bardot is a figure useful in understanding the relationship between Europe and the United States, while also demonstrating that economics is not separate from culture and popular culture. The Treaty of Rome, ostensibly about economic integration, further enabled the many circulations apparent in Bardot's career—people, goods, information, and ideas—that were already taking place. Furthermore, popular culture was not irrelevant to, or separate from politics and it helps to explain how the escapism and narcissism of European popular consumer culture could generate a rebellious, but sophisticated political consciousness. Western Europe does indeed have a distinct history of shared popular culture, which should be a factor in discussions of ‘Europeanization’ and the legitimacy of the European Union. It is necessary to explore the roots of this shared popular culture so that it does one day form the basis of a longstanding shared popular culture and can become a recognized element supporting the legitimacy of identities in the European Union in more fluid, dynamic ways.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores a little known period of early film exhibition in late Victorian Britain. Employing an historiographic approach to material not previously researched, principally the archive of William D. Slade a successful Cheltenham business man, a largely chronological study of Slade‟s activities has been undertaken. Beginning with his presentations of optical lantern exhibitions in the 1880s and 90s in Cheltenham and Worcester, Slade‟s experience as an amateur in magic lantern exhibition is explored as the background to the paradigm shift he made in December 1896. Immediately after purchasing a Demenÿ -Chronophotographe and films from the recently established Gaumont Company in Paris, Slade, accompanied by his daughter Mary, embarked on a new career as Slade‟s Kinematographical and Optical Entertainments and Concerts. During the first six months of 1897, he put on a series of entertainments in the south-west of England and Derbyshire. Investigating what was taking place in Cheltenham in 1897 revealed that the Borough Council commissioned Robert Paul to take film of the official visit of the Prince of Wales to the town in May 1897. The correspondence between Slade and Gaumont et Cie further disclosed that Léon Gaumont, in company with John Le Couteur of the Photographic Association in London, also came to Cheltenham to film this visit. This explained how Slade was able to exhibit film of the Prince of Wales‟ visit as part of the Cheltenham Diamond Jubilee celebrations in June 1897. Slade subsequently made these films a central feature of his nationwide touring entertainments. In August 1897, Slade entered into a contract with a theatrical agent, Edward Baring, which led to 28 weeks of touring as Slade‟s Electro-Photo Marvel six nights a week throughout England and Scotland, ending in March 1898. An in-depth study of the many exhibitions he presented revealed the wide variety of localities he visited, and furnished new understanding of the importance of the Diamond Jubilee films in attracting a diverse audience in many thriving towns of this period. William Slade, previously unknown, emerges as a significant figure in the diffusion of moving pictures beyond the cities and the music hall, into many different localities of provincial Britain and significantly extends the knowledge of exhibition practices in the two years immediately after the first exhibitions in London.

Full textAbstract:
Firms participate in network relationships with others to access resources that are not otherwise available. The resources may consist of goods, services, information, advice or support. This flow of resources into a firm has the potential to enhance the capability of a firm to react to the external competitive environment. Generally network relationships can be formal and/or informal. For a small firm, a network is more likely to be informal and have social links with individuals such as family, friends and acquaintances. This thesis investigates the network features and networking activities of small tourism and hospitality firms. The context of the research is that of owner-managers of chalet accommodation firms located at coastal and island destinations in the east of Peninsular Malaysia. Thirty-seven chalet owner-managers were interviewed face-to-face, using standardised interview questions and procedures, and case protocol. The research found that chalet firms were set-up mainly for economic motives rather that for lifestyle motives. The networks are composed of family and ethnic links and predominantly bounded by specific localities such as the 'village'. Informal ties are with those with a common interest in tourism products and services within a destination. The networks' contacts for business and social purposes consist of the same people. They represent less diverse, low cost and low maintenance networks. Chalet owner-managers became attached to family for financial reasons and to friends for other matters throughout their business life. This was due to the trust that was built up through the years of the relationship, which led to strong ties. The main reason for networking with the contacts was to exchange ideas, advice, and help. The local culture and religious believes have some influence in the selection of network members, network content and networking motivation as well as become guidelines in the networking activities.

Full textAbstract:
Les maldives - une republique independante, une societe insulaire relativement isolee et mal connue en occident - sont confrontees depuis une quinzaine d'annees, a l'avenement du tourisme international qui s'avere lui-meme "insulaire" dans ses pratiques et dans son discours. L'amenagement touristique enclave en "ile-hotel" faconne dans une large mesure le paysage global (geo- graphique, economique, socio-culturel, ecologique). Adapte en apparence au terrain, le discours touristique - publicitaire en premier lieu - se fonde en realite sur un vieux reve occidental de l'ile que les maldives n'ont jamais notablement contribue a engendrer, mais dont elles sont desormais un symbole en occident. - elaboree en etroite liaison avec le travail de guide de tourisme sur place, cette etude tend a approfondir les connaissances sur les maldives et a elucider l'action du tourisme international sur ce milieu precis, plus particulierement sous l'aspect de la creation d'images et de l'exploitation commerciale du reve de l'ile, theme extremement riche dont quelques elements pourront etre suivis a travers l'histoire de la civilisation occidentaleThe maldives - an independent republic, an insular society, relatively isolated and not well known in the west - has for the last fifteen years been confronted with the advent of international tourism which, in itself, has proven to be insular both in practice as well as in rhetoric. The esta- blishment of tourist enclaves in the form of "island-hotels" determines to a large extent the overall environment - geographic, economic, socio-cultural, ecological. The promotion of island tourism, in all appearances fitting to the maldivian landscape, dissolves in reality into a dream in the west of the island, which the maldives did nothing to foster but of which it has become a symbol in the west. - completed in conjunction with work on the islands as a tour guide, this study attempts to increase knowledge of the maldives and elucidate the impacts of international tourism on a specific environment, especially in light of the creation of images and the commercial exploitation of the island dream, an extremely rich theme of which certain elements can be traced throughout the history of western civilization
