3. Movie tourism:

Ireland has now become a major destination for movie and TV productions which have added their own unique twist to the nation’s potential to attract tourists – from home and abroad. Take the resent swell of interest created by shooting scenes from Star Wars in Kerry; or the huge interest there is along the Antrim coast where scenes from the TV hit show Game of Thrones are filmed. But of course none of this is actually a new phenomenon for back in the days when Ryan’s Daughter and The Quiet Man were filmed it also created huge interest in movie tourism. If the big screen is your thing, then why not see where it all started.
