With the advancement of technology, we are able to get different kinds information all over the world through watching television. What the media display as trendy, attractive, or sensational is often transferred to the perceptions of the viewer (Kim et al, 2008), this lead to the powerful influence of TV programmes. According to Beeton (2005, p.9), film-induced tourism (included television, video and DVD) is on-location tourism that follows the success of a movie (a set) in a particular region. That means people who have watched the television dramas or films; they visit the place where the TV programmes or films filmed.
By reviewing previous studies, various studies have focused on the impacts of TV programmes or films have on particular location from the perspective of tourism marketing. These studies can be classified into four different themes.
2.1.2 The Economic Impact
A TV series provide weekly reinforcement of a destination’s appeal on a weekly basis and the top-of-mind awareness of a viewer can do wonders for tourism (Beeton, 2010; Croy, 2010; Bly, 2004). The place where a TV programmes filmed, is not only earn money from during the actual filming, but can also inspire people to visit it for years afterwards. In the research field in film tourism, there are a number of studies reported the economic impact on the film location (Tooke and Baker, 1996; Riley et al., 1998; Beeton, 2001a; Busby and Klug, 2001; Connell, 2005a,b).
In Took and Baker’s (1996) study, the
A movie is a piece of art and in art everything has or should have a reason to be part of it, otherwise there wouldn’t be a reason for a costume designer or a location scout, that is, if the details wouldn’t matter. A good movie goer or film critic will analyze everything from the film material, the lighting, the acting, the costumes, the shoes, the hair-cut, the movie cars… and the location, even if he doesn’t know for sure, if the movie director has chosen them with a purpose in mind or just by accident. Films transport you deep into the location where they are filmed. Often using a particular city as the canvas, the settings serves as a dynamic character that plays a major role as the story is being told.
One of the primary motivations to advertise itself as a destination for tourism is the likely economic boost in a developing country. The powerful economic forces provide employment, foreign exchange, income and tax revenue. One of the common economic impacts of tourism is the Multiplier Concept where good or service purchases from the tourist are gain by the Sterling Bay. The earning is then spent again by Sterling Bay to provide a better goods and services for better value.

Despite the fact that the role of Canada in the world cinematography field often used to be undervalued, its filmmaking has been a powerful form of artistic and cultural expression before the World War 2. Morris, Magder and Handling (2012) found that “from its earliest days, filmmaking has been a powerful form of cultural and artistic expression, and a highly profitable commercial enterprise. From a practical standpoint, filmmaking is a business involving large sums of money and a complex division of labor engaged, roughly speaking, in three sectors: production, distribution and exhibition.” Besides that, moviemaking continues to be a profitable and successful commercial enterprise today.

There is no doubt that Hollywood has many influences on society especially on young age. The term “Hollywood” refers to the film industry where located to the west and northwest of downtown Los Angeles, California (“Where is Hollywood,” n.d.). Not only in Los Angeles that television shows and movies of Hollywood are popular but also all around the country and worldwide. The audiences of Hollywood’s products are in various age starting from little kids to elders. Hollywood has incredible ability to spread believes, cultures, morals and even political influence on society.
Korean researchers found a positive correlation between social media presence of film content and box office revenue. The more a trailer was shared and talked about on social media, the higher the box office revenue and audience turnout for the film. Also, researchers in Turkey found that the most common re-shared content from production companies were set photos (figure 4.) This shows that individuals want to see actors and crew members, not just the film. b. Trailers and behind the scenes content that our target audience post, will increase the amount of people that are interested in attending or submitting work to the festival.
IDENTIFY AND RESEARCH A TOURISM ATTRACTION Introduction Tourism has experienced continued growth and extensive diversification and competition on the last decades, becoming one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world and by consequence, one of the main income sources for many developing countries. “Every time we travel we are part of a global movement that has the power to drive inclusive development, to create jobs and to build the sustainable societies we want for our future,” says the actual UNWTO¹ Secretary General, Taleb Rifai. “This movement also contributes to build mutual understanding and to safeguard our shared natural and cultural heritage,” he completes. A sustainable and responsible approach to tourism means that neither the natural environment nor the socio-cultural organisation of the host communities would be compromised by the arrival of tourists.

“Tourism Behaviour understanding includes the idea and knowledge of the different factors which are by no other means very obvious because the effects which do shape the activities and tastes of tourism are often highly embedded in the cultural and the personal biography of the individual that the whole of subject is not known of how actually they were made.” (Seaton, 1996). Figure.1. The tourism system.
The time was the 1890s – the invention of the motion picture cameras had just revolutionized the entertainment industry. While the first films were only under a minute long and without sound, the novelty of moving photographs was enough for the motion picture business to flourish. Cinema offered a cheap and simple way of providing entertainment to the masses. Filmmakers could record actors' performances, which are then shown to audiences around the world. Travelogues would bring the sights of far-flung places, with movement, directly to spectators' hometowns.
Tourism is the income of people from one place to another place for vacation, but it can also be for business or entertainment. Tourism can either be international or domestic. Tourism has an influence on any country, either it’s for a positive impact or a negative impact. An example one might consider includes that the tourism in that individual country could possibly increase the income and positively improve the economic aspect of the country, but tourism can also negatively impact the environment. Tourism can also affect the population living in the country due to the amount of tourism which furthers the idea of more jobs need to be created for the new tourists.
While stuck in her hotel, Jenna decides to watch Nigerian movies. Those movies contain many scenes in which people are fighting. Jenna makes a rash judgement that Nigerians must be aggressive. She has made a negative social reality judgement about Nigerians. In this essay, through the empirical studies of Larsen and Brun ,and Riddle, I will explore the influence of Availability Heuristic and its impact on how tourists pose more travel risks/hazards to other tourists than themselves and how violence in tv shows can allow for quick social reality judgements.

Film tourism is a blooming sector among the tourism industry. It describes the effects that film and TV-productions can have on our travel decisions as they inspire people to experience the screened places firsthand. Not only is film tourism an excellent vehicle for destination marketing, it also presents new product development opportunities, such as location tours, film museums, exhibitions and the theming of existing tourist attractions with a film connection.
