Abstract
This paper examines the history of the relationship between tourism and the moving image, providing an overview of the way this relationship has been conceptualised in both tourism studies and media studies. The range of motivations within the film tourist experience is discussed, focusing in particular on the ways in which a tourist attraction's relationship with the complex notion of “authenticity” can have both a positive and a negative effect on the site, its management, and its stakeholders.
