Film tourism is an excellent vehicle to support our efforts in building a strong brand to attract visitors to our city, and we aim to make use of the opportunities it offers for product and entrepreneurship development in our local creative economy.
Worldwide film tourism is a growing phenomenon that influences travel decisions. Films, documentaries, television productions and commercials are instrumental in inspiring people to experience the locations they see on the big screen.
