It investigates the development of film tourism, identifies five research categories (tourist destination, tourists’ film experience, celebrity, film content, and impact of film tourism) by science mapping and content analysis, and proposes five future research directions. It contributes to film tourism research by providing researchers with a solid foundation of film research development and a roadmap for further film tourism research.
