Abstract

Film tourism is a complex phenomenon that can be studied from different perspectives. Currently, it is increasingly relevant and forms part of our new form of consumption, since it is through audiovisuals that a large part of our forms of leisure pivot. This phenomenon, which is increasingly exploited worldwide, has been used by different tourist organizations to promote certain locations; however, other organizations have reacted slowly to this new cultural tourism, despite which we find a multitude of films that have could induce tourism.
This paper will start from the classification made by Blusby and Klung in 2001 where they propose nine different types of cinematographic tourism and it will be applied to films shot in Portugal at different times and where different places in the Portuguese geography may have relevance when it comes to being chosen as tourist destinations, based on their appearance in some audiovisual product.
