Episode 8 - From screen to reality. The two-way street of film tourism

The Sound of Music and Turn of the Tide might be 58 years apart. But one thing they have in common is the power to bring tourists to Salzburg (Austria) and Rabo de Peixe (in the Azores, Portugal), aiming to visit places they see on screen.

Conducting a PhD research in sustainable screen tourism destination development, Sara Trigo looks on how film tourism has become a popular trend in recent years.

This episode of “Filming in Portugal: See the big picture” travels through the opportunities and challenges that movie induced tourism brings both to the industry and to the local communities.
