Integrated Film Tourism
The more we have looked at film tourism the more we have become convinced that it should become work integral to screen agencies and filmcommissions. Doing it that way means additional work load is minimal but the benefits large.
What are the benefits?
The benefits can be enormous, particularly for non-commercial agencies. Creating a wider relationship with businesses outside of the creative sector has a lot of ‘political’ benefit. A wider range of businesses, and more of them, understand the value of the service. Also, you can form better relationships with tourism oriented businesses and agencies who often also have significant influence.
Oh, and of course there is the economic impact which is easier to measure if you have relationships with the tourism sector.
We, at OpenBrolly, continue to develop new ways of delivering valuable information and services for film tourism as part of an integrated service.
