“…Therefore, we hypothesize that film tourism is not selective in terms of gender (H7). Considering the factor of age, Gunlu and Lale (2015) found that visits of film festivals and sites is the domain of younger age groups. This can be related to finding that young people and students have higher travel mobility due to increased motivation and time available (Richards & Wilson, 2007).…”

Film tourism is one of the fastest developing sub‐segments of creative tourism in 21st century. Many studies investigated tourists' motivation and behavior towards film tourism in context of psychological and emotional motives and their involvement and experience. However, we still know very little about the structure of visitors of film sites. Utilizing primary data collected in conditions of Slovakia and adopting the econometric approach, aim of this empirical study is to estimate the relationship between preferred trip parameters and the decision to include a visit to a film location in the travel plan. The results suggest that visits to film sites really occur to a significant extent also by chance, film tourism is additional, mainly to other segments of tourism characterized adventurous and explorative experiences. Visits to film locations occur mainly in the case of trips by younger age groups and longer stays, mostly within self‐organized trips, regardless of budget, frequency of travel, or gender.

“…Despite the common motivational factors mentioned above, these factors can vary strongly between different groups of visitors. For example, studies by Yolal et al, [53] and Gunlu and Laleh [54] showed that there are differences in motivation between visitors who participate in different types of festivals. Vinnicombe and Sou [55] and Brown and Knox [56] confirmed that music festival visitors participate mainly for the sake of music and nothing else.…”

This exploratory research seeks to gain insight into the visitors of Persian Fire Festival in Stockholm, their motivation, level of satisfaction and loyalty to the festival. The overall methodology is mixed methods consisting of participant observation and 280 completed online surveys including close-ended and open-ended questions. A Grounded theory analysis has been employed. The most important reason behind the participation has been to strive for the recognition of ethnic cultural identity; to keep the ancient culture alive; to maintain their ancestors’ legacy and transfer it to the next generation. Most of the visitors experienced positive feelings, showed satisfaction and loyalty, believed that the festival fulfilled their expectations and it should be celebrated officially every year. A minority showed dissatisfaction mostly due to the lack of accessibility to the event venue and might are not loyal to the festival. The first conclusion here is that these motivators are totally different than those mentioned by earlier research (e.g., escape, socialization, novelty, rest, prestige, excitement). Even though the desire to preserve the ancient culture and tradition is very strong, a lack of accessibility to the venue would constitute disloyalty and a barrier to re-attend in such a festival.
