The
Hunger Games is an American novel written by Suzanne Collins that later in 2012
was turned into a science fiction adventure film. The movie turned out to be a
massive box-office success that grew up to $685 million worldwide. We could say
that The Hunger Games phenomenon has just started since two more movies have
yet to be released and the book saga and one film premiered have already moved
millions of fans around the world.
This is
the main reason why Asheville, a small city in North Carolina and the city
where the movie was filmed, is now trying to promote the city and make a
business of it by offering a free getaway to the city visiting the set places
and staying in the same hotel the cast did whilst filming the movie. Here is
how they sell their product:
“Walk in the footsteps of Katniss and Peeta and experience all the
unscripted adventures had by your favourite tributes. Our Watch & Win
contest will send you soaring through the mountain tops on a zip line
adventure…”
It is
incredible how not only small businesses like café’s or tour companies try to
obtain benefits from successful movies but also cities themselves try to gain
more tourism thanks to the films set in their city. This clearly shows the huge
importance that film tourism is gaining year after year. Every movie saga that
has recently been released and has had success has ended producing tourism
wherever the movie was filmed. Will film
tourism end up being a big and extremely profitable type of tourism? What do
you think?
And by
the way! To view more information about the getaway, visit the following
