“…Central to this strand is the principle of managing destination impacts to gain maximum economic benefit while minimising cultural and environmental damage, community disturbance, disruption of longer-term tourism products and markets, and resident wellbeing (see Beeton 2005Beeton , 2004Beeton , 2001Connell 2005aConnell , 2005bCroy and Walker 2003;Hudson and Ritchie 2006a;Mordue 2001Mordue , 1999O'Neill, Butts and Busby 2005;Riley, Baker and Van Doren 1998;Tooke and Baker 1996). A great deal of impact studies relate to specific case 28 studies and, while some findings have transferability, impacts tend to be framed within a destination context.…”

“…Cases where film tourism effects have been observed now proliferate, and examples range across the spectrum of genres, from: blockbusters and 'must-see' films like Braveheart (Edensor 2001(Edensor , 2005, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings (LOTR) (Jones and Smith etc); romantic films like Notting Hill (Busby and Klug 2001); heritage and costume film and TV dramas (Higson 2006), such as Pride and Prejudice (Sargent 2001), Sense and Sensibility and Downton Abbey; continuing dramas, or 'soaps', such as Winter Sonata (Kim, Agrusa, Lee and Chon 2007) and Sea Change (Beeton 2004); more cult offerings like Monty Python (Beeton 2005) and Twilight; through to thrillers such as Motor Cycle Diaries (Shani et al 2008); travel-gastronomy style shows such as those presented by Rick Stein, and; even children's programmes such as Balamory (Connell 2005a). It is not the intention of this paper to cite the full range of examples and increases in tourism, suffice to say, examples of film tourism abound in the literature (see summaries by Tooke and Baker 1996;Riley, Baker and van Doren 1998;Hudson and Ritchie 2006a;Croy and Heitmann 2011) which collectively chart cases of film tourism through time), as well as in popular press and commissioned reports (see Grihault 2003Grihault , 2007Olsberg|SPI 2007).…”

“…Balamory is unique in several ways for Mull, for it is the only TV series filmed on the Island and the only production to create a mass tourist influx there. Connell (2005a) reported that about 50% of business across the Island, and 75% in Tobermory, saw a rise in the number of tourists due to the desire to 'see Balamory'. However, accommodation and transport providers experienced capacity related problems, and some tourism business operators expressed a number of concerns (Crilly 2004;Ross 2004).…”

“…First perspective is the effect of movies on the destinations' image creation (Croy, 2010;Çakmak, Karadağ, & Solmaz, 2012;Sahbaz & Kılıçlar, 2009;Yanmaz, 2011). The other perspectives are sustainable movie tourism and within this context; planning, development and identification of the partners' roles (Beeton, 2010;Connell, 2005;Hudson & Ritchie, 2006;Saltık, Coşar, & Kozak, 2010;Tanskanen, 2012) and the effect of movies on purchase intention, to figure out the motivations of movie tourists (Beeton, 2010;Busby, Huang, & Jarman, 2012;Heitmann, 2010;Karpovich, 2010;Kim, 2012;Nuroğlu, 2014;Shani, Wang, Hudson, & Gil, 2009;Yılmaz, 2015;Yılmaz & Yolal, 2008).…”

The link between film/drama-induced tourism and purchase intention has been studied for a long while. By using the Internet to promote the destination apart from cinema hall and television, cost-efficient promotion tools were shaped. Anime consisting of digital drawing techniques has been one of the most remarkable examples in terms of promotion of destination and culture as well. In this paper, to evaluate the travel intention of watchers in Turkish anime forums to Japan, open ended questions based on the model of purchase intention were presented to members and followers in two popular anime forums via the Internet. The responses of 31 participants were analyzed. The results demonstrated that participants' purchase intention has been enhanced as the consequence of watching anime series. Keywords: film tourism, anime tourism, travel intention IntroductionAfter the Industrial Revolution which was generated in the second half of the 18th century, technological developments have spread all around the world from European countries especially starting from the first quarter of the 20th century. One of these developments, the World Wide Web, was used primarily for military communications during the first years of cold war. At the end of the 1980s, commercial internet service providers were developed and finally in the 1990s, internet has become open to personal usage. As a result of those developments which happened until today, changes have been realized at web-based marketing applications as well. From tourism aspect, it is observed that those applications include web advertisements, movies, TV series and cartoons. The development of technology has implied popular new trends such as movies and TV series. Diversification of cartoon production has created anime movies which not only excite the attention of kids but also of adults. As the continuation of manga, published as books and magazines, animations of Japanese cartoon characters have been broadcasted first on TV channels and then on the internet, so anime productions original to Japan have been developed. In Japanese anime movies, cultural elements of Japan like kimono (traditional costume), sushi (traditional food), sake (national drink), tea ceremony, ikebana (flower growing), or origami (art of paper folding) can be seen. Besides using cultural elements, since the 2000s, anime production companies have showed touristic destinations that anime fans would like to visit, by using photos of real venues as background of the anime with benefits of developing digital techniques (Jang, 2015). Accordingly, a new term "Anime Pilgrim" has been created by anime fans. As a result of digital developments, the opportunity to reach information rapidly stimulates people's sense of wonder and affects purchase intention in tourism sector. As sense of wonder becomes more effective, changes occur in promotion operations. Especially, it is observed that researchers have realized how travel intentions are forming the tendency of touristic behavior of individuals or masses. Kotler ...
