行影‧捉影‧Fun影─跟著電影去旅行

1953年《羅馬假期The Roman holiday》中男女主角奧黛麗赫本與葛雷哥萊畢克的戀愛故事，讓羅馬街景與古蹟給影迷留下深刻印象；1965年《真善美The Sound of Music》電影拍攝的薩爾茲堡，也成為奧地利著名觀光景點，儘管距離電影拍攝時間已超過四十年，遊客仍然趨之若鶩；1999年《將計就計Entrapment》中男女主角史恩康納萊與凱薩琳齊塔瓊斯在片中大顯身手，打響了吉隆坡雙塔的全球知名度，成為觀光客必去的景點之一。

在國內，以電影做為行銷管道打響景點知名度也有先例，1989年侯孝賢導演的《悲情城市A City of Sadness》，讓沒落的九份、金瓜石重拾風華。2008年魏德聖導演的《海角七號CAPE NO.7》故事背景貫穿日治時代到現代，描述愛情與夢想的實現，並用台灣的語言將市井小民生活的幽默、詼諧的對話與人生故事表露無遺，深刻地感動了各年齡層的觀眾，並在台灣創下逼近五億的電影票房。電影中阿嘉的家、茂伯的厝、友子阿嬤的老宅等場景，也成為當前最熱門的旅遊景點，這是在台灣「以電影帶動觀光」的最佳成功案例。
