5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, December 24, 2005
This review is from: Film-induced Tourism (Aspects of Tourism) (Paperback)
This book analyzes how films change our perception of place and is the first definitive work about film-based tourism. Highly recommended.

EXCERPTS

Many visitors to film sites and sets do not expect to see exactly what they viewed on the screen, rather they share a fascination for the 'inauthenticity' of the film media. They can now return home, 'knowing how it's done.' and brag about possessing an insider's knowledge. (p. 112)

Entertainment for the masses is regularly decried by numerous academic-based social commentators as bland, insipid, unchallenging, unsustainable and inauthentic, yet it remains a mainstay of the tourism industry. (p. 185)
