Abstract
This chapter identifies the importance of destination branding in tourism locations that have become popular due to their featuring in or association with a movie. The research explores and evaluates how movies can be used to develop a strong brand image for a place and utilises a recent case-study from Northern Ireland to investigate this aspect of the phenomenon further.
