11 01 02 Film Tourism The term Film tourism can be defined as a branch of cultural tourism, and it refers to the growing interest and demand for locations which become popular due to their appearance in films and television series. Alternately, Film tourism can also be defined as tourism to a place or a hotel, which has been depicted in a popular film. The interest or pull generated out of seeing a movie scene which in turn pushes the tourist influx of a particular region up is a roundabout way of marketing, but has a larger impact on more dedicated audiences than direct advertisements. Film tourism can be defined from two unique perspectives: one, the aspect of producing and shooting motion pictures, and secondly, the tourism activities induced as a result of the movies shot in a location or destination. Powered by the growth of the entertainment industry and the increase in international travel, Film tourism is a growing phenomenon. Stages of Film making Film making consists of various phases: Pre Production Preparation of the project Planning the project involving site recce, board and lodge etc Production Filming the project Post Production Editing Sound effects Reshooting various parts of the film Both Production and Pre-Production stages involve extensive travel and shooting in exotic outdoor locations. This phase involves expenditure spread across various sectors such as equipment manufacturing to local labour to board and lodge as well as the various clearances that enable film shooting. It has been observed that while the film s actors are provided five-star accommodations during the production stages, the film crew, spotboys, etc are provided 3-star accommodations. Film tourism results into short term economic benefits to the region in the form of employment, hospitality, transportation, and food and catering. It also enables the host country to experience about diverse culture and nationalities, along with an opportunity to learn technological advancement. 11

12 03 How does a traveler zero-in on a film shooting destination? Place - This depicts the place where the movie was shot. For instance, Pangong Tso lake in Ladakh has become a hot tourist spot ever since the last scene of 3 idiots was shot here. Curiosity-inducing Activity - A country or a group of activities depicted in a movie spur the audience s curiosity, leading to increase influx of tourists. For instance, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara increased the propensity of tourists to undertake trip to Spain and explore the Tomatina festival. Personality - Aamir Khan s portrayal of wrestler Mahavir Phogat in a film that touches upon society in Haryana, societal pressures, women empowerment has increased not just tourism in north Indian states like Haryana but also increased the enrollment of boys and girls in wrestling akhadas. 12

13 04 Benefits due to local film production Inflow of foreign exchange Expenditure on logistics Hiring local technicians Emplying locals with local know-how Increase in accommodation occupancy Revenue to local economy Employment generation Promotion of the local film industry Technology Transfers Exposure to new technologies and techniques Training local talent Opportunity for the local film industry to collaborate and co produce future ventures 13

14 05 Scenario of Global Film Tourism Globally, the countries have started recognizing various direct and indirect benefits of encouraging local film productions. This has led to several countries invest in film production incentive programs that may be both monetary and non-monetary in nature. Here is a list of film incentives given by various countries around the world. Country Australia1 Canada2 Ireland3 Film Incentives Producer Offset provides a cash rebate of 40% on Qualifying Australian Production Expenditure (QAPE) Post, Digital and Visual Effects Production (PDV) offset provides 30% rebate on PDV QAPE Location offset provide 16.5% rebate on QAPE Tax credit of 28% on qualifying British Columbia (BC) labour expenditure Digital Animation or Visual Effects (DAVE) Credit of 16% on DAVE labour Regional Tax Credit of 6% of qualifying labour when min 50% of principal shooting is in Vancouve Tax relief of 32% of eligible expenditure with a lower cap: Eligible expenditure 80% of total production cost EUR 50 mn ($66 mn) Beneficiaries Australian resident country Foreign company with permanent establishment in Australia Official Treaty Co-productions Canadian taxable production company with a permanent establishment in BC Company should have primary business in film or video production or provision of production services, broadcasting/cable Subsidiaries are eligible for credit Producer company must be: Be Irish resident or trading through a branch Make film for cinema exhibition or broadcast Be existent for at least 12 months & have filed corporation tax return Not connected to a broadcaster Hold 100% in Qualifying Company SPV for 1 film 14

16 06 Scenario of Indian Film Tourism The Indian film industry is the largest in the world in terms of number of films produced with around 1,500 to 2,000 films produced every year in more than 20 languages. The industry also had the second highest footfalls in the world in 2015 (over 2.1 billion) following China (almost 2.2 billion). Currently, India is gaining traction as a film shooting destination. After the success of India based movies such as Slumdog Millionaire, several international studios are increasingly considering shooting a large portion of their films in India. India has been used as a film shooting site for various Hollywood movies such as The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Million Dollar Arm, The Hundred Foot Journey, Life of Pi, Mission Impossible IV and Jobs. Though India boasts of a large number of films and theatre admissions, the Indian film industry is small with respect to other global industries in terms of revenue. The gross realization of Indian film industry is $2.1 billion versus gross realization of film industry in US and Canada is $11 billion even though they produce only 700 films as opposed to films produced in India. This is mainly due to low ticket realizations and occupancy levels, lack of quality content, and rampant piracy. Though Indian film fraternity and government have taken a stand against piracy but Piracy continues to haunt film fraternity with dire consequences. Historically, the film industry in India has grown at a CAGR of over 10%. Source: Deloitte Report - Economic Contribution of the Indian Motion Picture and Television Industry 16

17 Currently, the film industry grosses total revenue of INR 138 billion ($2.1 billion). Going forward, the industry is expected to grow at 11.5% year-on-year reaching total gross realization of INR 238 billion ($3.7 billion) by Upcoming film shooting locations in India Film Rockstar JabWe Met Krrish Student of the Year Haider 3 Idiots Jab Tak hai jaan Guru Baaghi Mohenjodaro Munna Bhai MBBS Ranjhanaa Destination Himachal Pradesh- Dharamshala Himachal Pradesh- Kullu Himachal Pradesh- Manali Himachal Pradesh- Shimla Jammu and Kashmir- Anantnag Jammu and Kashmir- Ladakh Jammu and Kashmir- Ladakh Karnataka- Badami Kerala- Alappuzha district Madhya Pradesh- Jabalpur Maharashtra- Mumbai Delhi Location for shooting prominent scenes Seat of Happiness Temple, Norbulingka Institute Naggar Castle Beas River Convent of Jesus and Mary Martand Sun Temple Pangong Tso lake Thiksey Monastery Badami Cave Alleppey backwaters Bhedaghat Grant Medical College s Anatomy Hall India Gate Source: Key Drivers of Growth of Film Tourism in India Expansion and penetration of multiplex chains in Tier 2 and tier 3 cities Investments by foreign studios in domestic and regional productions Audience is growing mature and is able to consume lesser known stories, thereby, leading to popularity of niche movies Emergence of digital revenue streams in the form of Netflix etc. Several attractive locations for film shooting Low cost labour which leads foreign directors to shoot with talent crewmakers in India economically. Film Infrastructure availability in places specially designated to film production, also called Film cities These Film cities consist of air-conditioned and soundproof shooting floors, custom designed set locations, digital film processing labs, dubbing studios and other allied requirements. 17

18 Challenges facing Film Tourism in India Currently, about 70 approvals and licences from as many as 30 authorities are required for shooting films in India. Delays in the approvals process often results in filmmaker going to other destinations despite the cost advantage in the country. Due to hurdles in obtaining licenses, India has lost at least 18 big budget movies to other locations in the last 4 years. Central clearances: Shooting of foreign feature films in India requires the prior approval of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) whereas in the case of a documentary, approval of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is required. The script of the film has to be approved by the MIB which is a time-consuming process; the Ministry may also depute a liaison officer to facilitate the shooting. Location specific permissions: Film makers require approvals from authorities in specific locations prior to shooting. Introduction of Soft Loans: The government should replicate the foreign countries film tourism incentives in India. It should provide film makers a short-term loan without charging interest to meet their short-term needs. This would encourage producers to shoot in that particular location, and would catalyse the growth of the industry. Safety & Security: Safety is also a major concern which needs to be address by the government, as increasing terrorist attacks and political disturbance hinder the growth of the industry. States should undertake various initiatives like setting up surveillance cameras, tourist police, 24*7 help lines, and compulsory registration of tourist guides operators, etc. to ensure safety of the tourists as well as the film crew. These initiatives may be highlighted by the states/ Central Government in various promotional campaigns to project India as a safe and secure tourist destination. Investment in Infrastructure: Inadequate infrastructure acts as the biggest hindrance to the Indian film tourism industry, and has been affecting its growth since past several years. Bad road conditions; poor connectivity; inadequate air and sea port capacities; and lack of development of modes of transports, like railways, and alternates, like inland water transport and domestic aviation, have been causing delays in the film tourism industry operations. Due to this, costs per film in the Indian film industry increases; and ultimately leads to disturb the planned budget. Therefore, there is an urgent need for investment in infrastructure linking roads, railways and airports, to curtail the losses. Other approvals: Filmmakers also need to adhere to certain local laws of the region where shooting is to take place in India. The regulators may be various Municipalities and Municipal Corporations, associations of cinematographer, make-up, hair-dresser, etc., and state legislations. Tax Incentives: It is important to provide tax benefits and other incentives to film makers in order to attract them to a particular location. In India, because of absence or limited incentives, film makers prefer to shoot at foreign locations over Indian locations. Ministry of Tourism must regulate its policies to promote film tourism, and hence tourism in the country. Initiatives such as exemption or refund of VAT, rebate in production cost, free premiers, reduction or exemption of entertainment tax, etc. will certainly make a huge difference in Indian film tourism industry. Often, foreign producers are faced with unclear rules and regulations in terms of obtaining permissions making the process inefficient and expensive. However, the Indian film sector, along with the Government of India and various state governments, is revamping its approvals process as well as looking to incentivise local film making through the establishment of an India Film Commissions and the Film Facilitation Office. Both these initiatives have been recently announced as part of the Make in India campaign in the film sector. Approvals Required for Film Shooting: Location Relevant Authority Sensitive areas of Ministry of Home Affairs Jammu and Kashmir, North-east India or border belts City/town/village Forest Historical Site Defence Area Airport Railway station/ Train District Magistrate and Police authorities State Forest Department Archaeological Survey of India Ministry of Defence Airport Director Railway Board and State Railway Zone 18

One of Ireland s Minister for Arts and Tourism led a delegation to India to meet senior Bollywood executives to consider Ireland as a shooting destination. Salman Khan starrer Ek Tha Tiger was shot in Dublin, Ireland and boosted the tourism in Ireland. Singapore: The Singapore Tourism Board has allocated USD 10 million to Bollywood productions in 2006 for 3 years under its Filming in Singapore scheme. This helps subsidize upto 50% of the expenses incurred by film companies during their shoot in Singapore. United States of America: Many USA states like California, New York, Michigan, Nevada and Utah offer incentives to film and television production companies from India. Movies such as Kabhi Alvida na kehna, Kal ho na ho have been shot in the USA.

UK films also contribute to over 25% share of the global industry with worldwide gross revenues of $9.2 billion. The UK film industry has had wide acclaim globally along with a large domestic audience for international films. Owing to this, the UK is well positioned to encourage local film shootings due to an established domestic and global market, familiar locations and clear procedures. The expenditure incurred by foreign film shootings in the UK has steadily risen by the following key factors: Film Tax Relief: The UK Film Tax Relief Scheme was announced in 2007 with the aim to incentivise investments in the domestic film production and promote films showcasing the UK s culture and history. The film incentive program was revamped in 2015 to provide 25% cash rebate on all UK, qualifying expenditure is provided for films produced locally. Films qualifying for the tax relief have to have at least 10% of its total spend on goods or services used or consumed in the UK. The tax relief provided is capped at 80% of total core expenditure; however, there is no cap on the amount to be claimed. The tax relief program has resulted in an investment of over GBP 6.9 billion ($10 billion) by the UK film industry across other sectors in the UK, generated 260,000 full time creative sector jobs, and positioned the UK film sector as a global leader. British Film Council: The British Film Commission (BFC) is the national body in charge of attracting, encouraging, and supporting the production of international feature films in the UK.
