Cinematic Plateau and Sustainable Tourism

Abstract

When we are speaking about the cinematic plateau, cinematic natural landscapes or even the cinematic city, it means the locations outside the cinematic studios, the landscapes or locations which are set by a cinematographer in the background of his/her story.

The cinematic plateau brings about sustainable tourism, because it does not need any specific season or special calendar and it is sufficient for the tourist to visit just the plateau and register the moment with the space.

Producing film and registering the moments in special locations, the cinematographer unconsciously encourages the viewers to take a trip to the locations of shooting for recollection and to inject a new blood into the economic vessels of these regions.

Focusing on the province of Almeria in Spain, this research is an attempt to learn about the cinematic plateaus, to introduce touristic spaces, to study how to attract cinematic tourists and to present new approaches for the dynamism of this industry.
