While focusing primarily on film tourism sites in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, Beeton (tourism, La Trobe U., Australia) more broadly treats how popular visual media attract tourists to particular places.

Photos and useful summary charts represent aspects of film tourism. Distributed in the US by UTP Distribution
