The silver screen captivates travellers globally, highlighting events like the Oscars, BAFTA Awards, and Venice and Cannes Film Festivals. The rising popularity of films and series fuels cinema tourism, commonly called “set-jetting." This trend, where travellers are influenced by hit movies when selecting destinations, has gained momentum thanks to blockbuster films like Killers of the Flower Moon (Oklahoma), Oppenheimer (New Mexico), and Barbie (Palm Springs). Bloomberg reports a “White Lotus Effect"; filming for seasons 2 and 3 in Sicily and Thailand has greatly influenced bookings in these areas (with season 3 set to premiere on February 17).
