Tourism plays a vital role in economic development in most countries around the world. The industry has not only direct economic impact, but also significant indirect and influential impacts. There is agreement among experts that the travel and tourism sector is the fastest growing of global economy.

From an environmental perspective, it is apparent that the world is starting to realise that increases in tourism are having a negative impact on the environment. This is due to increases in energy consumption, which in turn heightens the effects of global warming (Neto, 2002). There are many controls that governments are trying to put into place, such as flight rationing (Liverpool Business School, 2009). However, it can be argued that these have not really begun to have a significant effect on tourism, as they are still insufficient to dampen demand. It may become a problem in future years, as the number of controls is likely to increase. Perhaps the largest environmental factor would be natural disasters, like Hurricane Katrina (Cashell, 2005) and the tsunami that hit Asia in December 2004 (Birkland, 2006). These will impact negatively on people’s confidence in visiting places that have been hit severely by such disasters.

Literature on determinates of tourism gives us a clear picture regarding the factors which affect tourism demand around the globe. These factors have been evaluated in economic and non-economic factors. The main economic factors are world income per capita, relative price, nominal exchange, transportation cost and so on (Martins 2017). While the non-economic factors are natural, cultural and historical places, political instability, terrorism, infra-structure etc. As far as economic factors are concerned, number of tourist arrivals and to tourist receipts have been affected differently.

Throughout my tour, I not only got to enjoy the beautiful country of Italy but also got to look more closely at the effects of tourism on an area. Being able to research online and in books is important, but to experience something hands on ultimately can change anyones viewpoint on a topic. During the duration or my tour I spent time observing and talking to store owns, residents and tour guides to help my understand how living in an area with so much tourism was. After rethinking the answers I got and picturing all the things I saw I realized that tourism ultimately has both good and bad sides to it.

Global tourism accounts for a large fraction of the world’s economy. There are many types of tourism, but the portion of tourism I will focus this paper on a branch of cultural tourism: film tourism. Specifically, how does a country take its portrayal in media into accounting with the ever-growing tourist industry? Travel magazines from CNN have defined film tourism as, “ . . . a concept that connects tourist interest in sites made famous by movies, “ (Cha 2013). Countries have marketed these sights in order to bring in more economic benefits into their respective economy and bring “new” light to their countries.
