  • It has been well established that there is a link between film and tourism; however, to date most studies from the field of tourism have been singular cases, which has built a body of knowledge, but is rarely integrated with a wider discussion of film and tourism. By studying the broader concept of the moving image, this paper takes the reader back to pre-cinema times in order to ultimately better understand the links between moving images, film and tourism. From stereoscopes to virtual computer games via phantom rides and travelogues, this study explores the various relationships the viewers have with travel and tourism.
