Unlock the potential of screen tourism.

Film and television play an increasingly important role in inspiring travel, with screen tourism creating new opportunities for destinations and tourism businesses across the UK. As film and television production continues to grow in the North East, businesses can benefit not only from hosting productions, but also from the long-term visitor interest that successful films and television programmes can generate.

Originally developed as part of the Destination Development Partnership Pilot, the Screen Tourism Toolkit has been created to help tourism businesses understand and make the most of these opportunities. It provides practical guidance for attractions, accommodation providers, hospitality businesses and destinations looking to engage with the screen sector and develop visitor experiences inspired by film and television.

What's included in the Screen Tourism Toolkit?

The toolkit is divided into four key stages, helping businesses understand the journey from production through to visitor experience:

Planning – preparing your business to become film ready and understanding what productions look for in a location.
Production – working successfully with film and television productions, from hosting crews to supporting production requirements.
Distribution – making the most of publicity and release opportunities once a production reaches audiences.
Product Development – creating screen tourism experiences and using filming locations to inspire new visitor products and itineraries.

Whether your business is a filming location, accommodation provider, attraction or visitor experience, the toolkit offers practical advice, checklists and examples to help you understand the opportunities presented by the growing screen sector.
