Trends in travel: Film and TV programs drives tourism to destinations.

Heck, I visited The Brigg Unicorn, the infamous Black Pearl Ship in Pirates of the Caribbean in St. Lucia, years ago.?Sadly the ship sank off the coast of St. Vincent’s in 2014.

What popular culture programs are influencing tourists to travel to today?

Singapore has become of interest thanks to Crazy Rich Asians.?While many of us our familiar with the luxurious accommodations offered at Raffles, here are 13 locations in Singapore you can visit in real life.

If you’ve found yourself immersed in the upstairs downstairs world of the award-winning Downtown Abbey, you’ll love visiting these filming locations in Britain

California’s Monterey County , a dramatic coastline marked by scenic beaches, rugged cliffs, idyllic small towns, and wind-swept Cypress trees are being visited thanks to Big Little Lies.?

And then there are the classics:

The outstanding scenery in New Zealand continues to attract international visitors to the Hobbit on Movie Set - The Lord of the Rings & the Hobbit

You just just never know, while vacationing in Cabo this summer, we learned parts of Troy,?The Brad Pitt epic Greek legend-turned-movie was filmed very close by.
