"The use of exotic locations in Hollywood films has allowed global audiences to enjoy distant places. Simultaneously, Hollywood screening of potential 'tourist paradises' has generated new tourist industries around the world. This book takes a closer look at this new phenomenon of 'cinematic tourism' , combining theory with case studies drawn from four continents: America, Europe, Asia and Australasia."--BOOK JACKET.
