As mentioned
above, most research in this area takes a case study approach; therefore the study of
film tourism impacts is still “somewhat piecemeal” (Connell and Meyer, 2009, p. 205)
and “it is difficult to extrapolate the results from anecdotal examples to calculate the
overall impact” (Oxford Economics, 2007) and to synthesise general ideas that can
form the basis for film tourism planning, management and development.
