Abstract

The following chapter will introduce the reader into the relatively new and growing tourism niche “Film Tourism” by giving you an overview of the whole topic. Film tourism can be defined as a branch of cultural tourism (Zimmermann, 2003, p.76) and refers to the growing interest and demand for locations which became popular due to their appearance in films and television series. In his interpretation, Zimmermann describes film tourism as all forms of travelling to destinations, which in general enable a connection with the world of film (Zimmermann, 2003, p.76).Further, it can be divided into three separate sub-categories, including film promotion tourism, travel film tourism4 and film induced tourism as illustrated in the diagram below. The third category will be the main focus in this chapter.
