As film tourism is getting more popular, film tours are becoming part of the central activities in cities where blockbusters were shot. Itās interesting to see what movies or TV series have created such a strong impact on people that they do activities connected to it. It's possible to see from the visualization how relevant film tours are in relation to all the available ones in each city.
Main Findings
The research suggest that movies and TV seriesā tours are so popular in certain cities that they appear in the first proposed activities. So when tourists go to visit the cities, they want to see the filming locations that cities are famous for, other than the usual landmarks.
Some cities are linked to a lot of movies/TV series tours, such as London that can be connected with tours on Harry Potter, Jack the Ripper, Downton Abbey, Sherlock Holmes. While other cities like Dubrovnik, Medellin and Savoca are mostly linked to one specific media.
On the other hand, some cities, like Los Angeles and New York, have more tours that concern the overall drama world rather than specific ones. In fact, general tours are more likely to be taken in these cities due to the numerous movies and TV series that have been shot there.
A very peculiar case is the city of Paris: even though a lot of famous movies were filmed there, there are no tours in the first 10 pages on TripAdvisor. So it seems that people are less interested in taking this kind of tours but would rather do other activities in this city.
