Great to see the spotlight on the powerful pull of film and TV locations in inspiring visits to #Britain highlighted in Canada's Travelweek during the Toronto International Film Festival #tiff2024. Our upcoming international 'Starring GREAT Britain' campaign, rolling out early 2025, is using places seen-on-screen to encourage visitors to explore destinations that are the star of the show and to come now, boosting visits and spend across more of #Britain. As our Country Manager in Canada Cathy Stapells comments in the article “We want to work with you (our travel trade in market) to build itineraries to showcase the wealth of screen tourism product to your clients.” Our latest research shows that film tourism is a significant motivator for travel. Ninety-one percent of potential visitors surveyed across 20 overseas markets were keen to visit #film and #TV locations used in filming or seen-on-screen during their holidays here in the UK. 🎞 📽 Nick de Bois CBE Patricia Yates Gavin Landry Paul Gauger Ritushri Dhankher Tracey Edginton Beth Reynard Robin Johnson Emma Wilkinson GREAT Britain & Northern Ireland Campaign https://lnkd.in/eJFHm2qk
