Even if we consider film tourism in its own right, the various roles that stakeholders play
in the planning process as highlighted in the preceding discussion show that there is potential
for conflicting relationships due to the different levels of power and interest in the development process. As sustainable tourism planning and development suggests the
involvement of all stakeholders, the film industry plays a vital part of this process.
However, the film industry is the involuntary stakeholder—it has a different agenda and
is not too concerned about the tourism consequences of their filming once they have
left the location. As yet there is only limited evidence that the film industry has recognised
the potential value of working together with tourism in order to establish a mutual
beneficial relationship. To what extent such a relationship would be beneficial or more
of a burden is yet to be researched.
