Description
Summary:Film tourism is one of the fastest developing sub‐segments of creative tourism in the 21st century. Many studies investigated tourists' motivation and behavior towards film tourism in the context of psychological and emotional motives and their involvement and experience. However, we still know very little about the structure of visitors of film sites. Utilizing primary data collected in Slovakia and adopting the econometric approach, the aim of this empirical study is to estimate the relationship between preferred trip parameters and the decision to include a visit to a film location in the travel plan. The results suggest that visits to film sites occur to a significant extent by chance, film tourism is additional, mainly to other segments of tourism, characterized as adventurous and explorative experiences. Visits to film locations occur mainly as trips by younger age groups and longer stays, mostly as self‐organized trips, regardless of budget, frequency of travel, or gender.
