“…In addition, this could also inform heritage management decisions on interpretation methods. Managers can leverage film-induced tourism to attract visitors so that heritage attraction visitors can fantasize about the television series characters as they tour the property and personally experience the storylines (Bąkiewicz et al, 2017). New interpretation methods based on both historical and media-related narratives can be developed that enhance visitor attraction revenues and enrich tourist experiences while maintaining the integrity of the attraction.…”

“…A number of heritage attractions have gained increased interest as a result of being featured in films or in television dramas. The complex relationship between tourism and heritage resources is a major challenge for heritage management at the heritage attractions (Bąkiewicz, Leask, Barron, & Rakić, 2017). Given the different aims and management approaches between heritage attractions and other tourism attractions, the application of some visitor-oriented marketing strategies and commercial activities may lead to different outcomes for heritage attractions (Bąkiewicz et al, 2017;Leighton, 2007).…”

films and television dramas is not to promote film settings as tourist destinations, research has demonstrated that people are often attracted to specific places after they have seen these destinations in films or on television (e.g.This article explores the influence of a television drama on tourist motivation and behavior at a heritage attraction, Highclere Castle in the UK, the setting of the television series, Downton Abbey. The series raises awareness of the attraction and stimulates motivation for traveling. The article identifies specific motivational factors: Prestige, Personalization, Fantasy, and Novelty. Using PLS-SEM, it shows that audience involvement significantly impacts Prestige, Personalization, and Fantasy but impacts Novelty motivation to a lesser extent. The Personalization travel motivation impacts experience outcomes, such as perception of value and satisfaction. Implications for marketing and management practices of heritage attractions are outlined.

“…Research has attempted to categorize visitor attractions (Garrod et al, 2006), evaluate the determinants of their attractiveness (Mijnheer and Gamble, 2019), highlight challenges of effective management (Bakiewicz et al, 2017), and assess their progress towards sustainability goals (Piera et al, 2017). Research has also tackled the issues of financial performance of visitor attractions (Leask et al, 2013).…”

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenues of visitor attractions: An exploratory and preliminary study in China

The COVID-19 pandemic has made a detrimental impact on various tourism subsectors. The financial consequences of this impact should be carefully evaluated to set benchmarks for industry recovery. This study assessed the financial impact of the pandemic on the tourism subsector of visitor attractions in China; 4222 A-grade visitor attractions accounting for over one-third of the national market were surveyed. Data triangulation was subsequently applied to undertake a comprehensive assessment of potential revenue loss. Triangulation was based upon the (1) lost revenue estimates made by tourist attractions’ administrations, (2) reverse estimation of past macroeconomic data, and (3) expert opinion estimates. The assessment results demonstrated that A-grade visitor attractions in China may have lost up to 140 billion RMB (circa US$21 billion) due to COVID-19, with up to 65% of all losses incurred in the first quarter of 2020. The scale of revenue loss varied significantly depending on visitor attraction’s grade, type, and location. Potential strategies for industry recovery are discussed.

State support is currently playing a key role in the production and distribution of commercial films in Russian Federation. Consequently, this support creates certain economic dependence of film production on the state and this dependence keeps growing. The protectionist model of state support that had emerged lately is already constraining growth of the domestic cinematography, not allowing it to develop independently, according to the market rules. At the same time, government not only does not derive revenue of film distribution (even being, in fact, the major movie producer), but often does not even return its investment. One of the mechanisms of state support in Russia is the subsidizing (refundable and non-refundable) for the leading cinematography companies by the Cinema Fund which represents the economic agent of the Ministry of Culture. Selection criteria for leading companies include attendance, television rating level, awards received by company's films, period of operation of a company, and the quantity of released films (amount of copies that is taken into account). Our paper analyses the methodology that the Cinema Fund uses to compile this rating of the leading cinematography companies in terms of selection criteria and features of assessing. Our results demonstrate that the current methodology does not enable the actual leaders of the cinema market to be identified. In addition, the priorities in weighting assigned to criteria are unfounded. Moreover, present methodology does not allow considering the data for modern channels of distribution the audiovisual products. In addition, the methodology is also discriminatory against new companies. The paper provides some recommendations for changing the methodology and clarifies the selection criteria.
