Abstract:
Movie induced tourism is all tourism activity associated with locations that are related to the world of cinema, either by recording film locations or by the life of an artist. The increase in this type of tourism in recent years thanks to films like the Lord of the Rings or series such as Game of Trones have served as a great stimulus to publicize this type of tourism. The Harry Potter film saga has also make their contribuition and the United Kingdom is the great beneficiary. The saga has been filmed entirely in this country, both the real films locations and recording studios, which has made this set of films into a tourist product for the UK.
