    • Tourism Documentary: Unveiling the Potential of Regional Areas and Their Ideal Future

      Abstract:
      Tourism films are widely used for destination promotion. A 2014 Google survey found that 64% of travelers watch videos online before choosing their destination, highlighting the strong influence of video content. However, modern tourism videos are becoming shorter and more superficial, often failing to capture the essence of a place. As a result, tourists may develop a skewed perception of destinations, potentially attracting a different audience than originally intended. Tourism has evolved from "Where to go" to "Things to do" and now "How to be", focusing on local lifestyles and cultures. However, these deeper experiences are difficult to convey, making destination promotion challenging. Tourism documentary films can bridge this gap by capturing the daily lives of locals and their communities, presenting a more authentic vision of regional areas. This presentation explores how documentaries can help shape sustainable tourism and attract visitors who appreciate a destination’s true essence.
