The rise of fan tourism around the world


By AGENCY

Fan tourism has been on the rise in recent years, as people seek out sites featured in the books, TV series or films they feel a connection with.

In Britain, tourism linked to HBO’s Game Of Thrones has proved a particular success story. Before the coronavirus pandemic, 350,000 people visited Northern Ireland annually for Game Of Thrones-related tourism, spending an estimated £50mil (RM269.4mil) every year.
