Film tourism and its related phenomena did not receive much attention until the early 1990s but have now sparked a wide range of interest across tourism academia.
Early discussion on this topic can be dated back to Boorstin (1961) but more detailed investigations อcame from Butts (1992), Tooke and Baker (1996) and subsequently from Beeton (2001, 2004, 2005) as well as Busby and Klug (2001). While there has been evidence of its
popularity, particularly among PhD students, most research still focuses on understanding the phenomenon, the motivation and experience of film tourists or films as tools for destination marketing. Furthermore, much of the research methodology in these works
adopts a case-study approach, resulting in anecdotal evidence of the impacts and success of film tourism destinations.
This paper is desk-based research that seeks to investigate the challenges surrounding film tourism by reviewing existing literature and
identifying some gaps in theoretical knowledge and practical application.
Beeton has discussed film tourism in the context of community planning (2005); however, this paper further aims to take a more critical approach by questioning the hype surrounding
film tourism and criticising its viability with regard to tourism planning and its sustainability with regard to tourism development. Firstly, conceptual problems regarding the
definition of film tourism are highlighted. Secondly, procedural problems in relation to tourism planning are investigated through the use of stakeholder theory in order to showcase the key roles and conflicts. This will then lead to lastly questioning the sustainability
of film tourism, before reaching a conclusion that highlights the key limitations of film tourism as a concept and its viability when applied to sustainable tourism planning and development.
