“…In addition, many researchers claim that certain films increase awareness of the places in which they are located and clearly have touristic effects [17,18]. However, some studies suggest that media exposure of certain film locations and negative representations of destinations that have appeared in films or series may not increase viewers' intention to visit those film locations and may, in fact, stimulate the opposite effect in relation to the destinations shown on screen [2,[56][57][58].…”

The destination image is a complex construction in which the different sources of information consulted are decisive. Among these information sources, we can find films, which have a relevant function to create destination images. Films are one of the factors that most influences people in their motivation to travel to a destination. The academic literature on film tourism has grown considerably in recent years, but an updated revision is needed. Due to this fact, the main contribution of this paper is the proposal of an updated review of the academic literature focused on film tourism and destinations and their management implications. The general objective of this research is to analyse the existing literature, systematising the relationships that exist between films, film tourism, destination image, and tourist destination. To this end, a systematic review of the literature has been carried out, with two aims: on the one hand, a review of the existing literature from a descriptive perspective, showing the main publications, authors and topics, and on the other hand, a review from a thematic perspective. The results of the latter will be addressed in the discussion and conclusions. The results of the descriptive analysis highlight the significant growth in the literature analysed over the last 45 years, especially between 2005 and 2015. They also underline that the most studied topics are film destinations, marketing and destination image. The results of the thematic analysis highlight the importance of films and series as important information sources on the creation of destination images. The thematic analysis also provides information on the negative and positive aspects of film destination management.

This article examines the phenomenon of the latest niche trend that has emerged in the Tourism industry and represents a great part of one destination's economy. It runs under several names, such as Film-induced Tourism, Screen Tourism, Set-Jetting, or, most simply, Film Tourism. The currently trendy story of Outlander, written by Diana Gabaldon and first published in 1990, was examined and analysed in the article. Through what is presently eight thick volumes, we follow the story of two main protagonists, the rebellious but honest Scottish warrior James Fraser, and a 20th century independent but devoted Englishwoman, Claire Randall. The title of the very first book is Outlander, meaning a person who does not come from that particular area and is, in fact, an outsider. Back in the 18th century, to where the mentioned book dates, it also meant an Englishman. The following paper focuses on the important impact of the Outlander series, also named 'Outlander effect', on the perception of Scotland and its heritage around the globe, as well as on Scottish tourist visitation since the TV adaptation of the eponymous name aired in 2014.Ovaj članak ispituje fenomen jednog aktuelnog nišnog trenda koji je zabeležen u turizmu i koji predstavlja veliki deo ekonomije jedne destinacije. On se pojavljuje pod raznim nazivima, kao što su "filmski indukovan turizam", "ekranski turizam", "set-džeting" ili, najprostije, filmski turizam. Detaljno se analizira trenutno popularna priča o "Tuđinki", koju je napisala Dajana Gabaldon i koja je prvi put objavljena 1990. U osam do sada objavljenih obimnih tomova, pratimo priču dvoje glavnih protagonista -buntovnog, ali pravičnog škotskog ratnika, Džejmsa Frejzera i nezavisne, ali odane Engleskinje iz XX veka, Kler Rendal. Naslov prve knjige serijala je "Outlander", što označava osobu koja ne potiče iz tog kraja i koja je, u stvari, tuđin. U XVIII veku, u kome se odvija radnja knjige, ova reč je označavala i Engleza. Ovaj rad se bavi velikim uticajem serije "Tuđinka", poznatim i pod nazivom "efekat Tuđinke", na globalnu percepciju

“…This means an intentional and paid placement of a branded product or a service into an audio-visual work in order to promote them. Research has found that such product placement has an appreciable influence on viewers' memory and leaves them with positive attitudes towards the products they saw in the film [18]. The filming itself is very advantageous for destination marketing as it defines the groups which can be targeted in the marketing campaign beforehand.…”

Film industry belongs to the worldwide phenomena and is considered to be a tourism development driver in many destinations. This is the case of Iceland, for example, which has become a popular film location in recent years and as a result the number of visitors to the country has been increasing. The aim of this paper is to analyse film tourism in this destination, considering both economic indicators of the benefits to the country's economy in general and the entities active in tourism. Both primary and secondary research have proved that Iceland is a film location and the local business entities share a positive attitude towards filming in the area. However, the Icelandic Tourist Board does not use this fact in a sufficient way to promote their destination and therefore a draft of a communication campaign focused on film tourism is included in this paper.
