Mrs. JIYA MANGLANI TANISHKA SHRIVASTAVA CLASS: XI HUMANITIES ROLL NO : The Impact Of Entertainment On Tourism INTRODUCTION ENTERTAINMENT MEANING Entertainment is a form of activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience or gives pleasure and delight. It can be an idea or a task but is more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed over thousands of years specifically for the purpose of keeping an audience's attention. INTRODUCTION Entertainment activities and opportunities is one of the component elements of a tourism destination offering. It is also one of the main factors determining the attractiveness and appeal of destinations and contributing to the satisfaction of visitors. Literature suggests that tourists are more willing to spend on entertainment today (Loi, 2009; Wolf, 1999; Bosshart & Macconi, 1998). Loi (2009) indicates that events not only offer entertainment opportunities to tourists but also constitute business platforms for many related industries as well as local communities; for instance, the Bollywood Film Fair Award 2010 held in Mauritius. INTRODUCTION In this regard, a study conducted by Nallathiga (2006) highlights the importance of entertainment for tourists visiting Mumbai, India. This study suggests that “entertainment will not only become an important source for attracting tourists on the short term, but will also be more useful in retaining them for longer period” (Nallathiga, 2006: 4).

The push-pull framework explains why
tourists choose a place over another, the type of experiences they seek and the type of activities they want. While push factors represent motivators that influence tourists’ decision to visit a destination, pull factors emphasize specific attributes of destinations that motivate people to choose a destination over one another. FILM TOURISM OR FILM-INDUCED TOURISM Film Tourism or Film–induced tourism is a specialized or niche form of tourism where visitors explore locations and destinations which have become popular due to their appearance in film and television series. It also includes tours to production studios as well as movies or television- related parks. Film-induced tourism is one of the fastest-growing sectors in tourism currently.[4] It emerged as a prominent form of tourism in the 1990s. This increasing popularity of film tourism is due to the rise of international travel, the rapid growth of the entertainment industry, and cult-like celebrity status. For destinations, films provide long-term tourism revenue. The appearance of a particular area in a film or television can have a huge effect on the number of visitors to an already existing place and create a new kind of tourism to the area and generate a boost for the local economy. On average, a film can increase tourism and revenue by almost 31%.[7] Alnwick Castle (harry potter)

Sports – as a professional, amateur, or leisure activity – involves a considerable amount of traveling to play and compete in different destinations and countries. Major sporting events, such as the Olympic Games, and football and rugby championships have become powerful tourism attractions in themselves – making a very positive contribution to the tourism image of the host destination sports event attracts tourists to visit a place to entertain themselves.
