ABSTRACT
The chapter propose an interdisciplinary framework for studying the relationships between places, media and tourism encompassing (a) media specific, (b) tourism specific, (c) geography specific and (d) policy specific approaches. The various disciplinary traditions and foundations influence the way that the relationship between media and tourism is approached, and whether the tourist, the tourism industry, the screen industry (film, television computer games) or new media technologies (such as GPS based locative media, social media, mobile media, augmented reality/AR, virtual reality/VR technologies or algorithm based production and distribution) primarily inform the main objective and focus of a particular study.
