World of Imagination
This ERC-funded research project focuses on film tourism: the phenomenon of people visiting locations from popular films or TV series. Recent years have seen explosive growth in this type of tourism, with far-reaching implications for the experience and organization of landscapes. The aim of this project is to discover why and under what circumstances films or TV series give rise to new tourism flows, and which variations can be found based on the specific characteristics of the films and TV series, local approaches to film and tourism and the tourists involved.

Please contact the organisation of the World of Imagination conference if you have any questions. We hope you can join us in enjoying these contemporary debates on Media, Place and Tourism!
