Abstract
“A fi lm is always the beginning of a journey”, so the phenomenon of movie-induced tourism takes us by the hand to discover the location of the fi lm and the emotions that lie behind the biggest dream machine: the cinema. Choosing the right destination for holidays is diffi cult, since there are various factors, such as time, age, economic needs and tastes, and places that are more special and more interesting to spend the holidays. Often, we think movies, documentaries or fi ction, as means that potentially convey the values, traditions and culture of an area, as the attention that people follow the fi lm and the emotional involvement are unique with other communication tools. Movie-induced tourism is therefore an emerging motivation for travel, which adds to the already varied tourist demand. Italy has begun to develop its own concept of movieinduced tourism in 2003. Out of the thousands of locations used to fi lm and TV series, only a few dozen however become part of the circuit connected to the movie-induced tourism.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
