An increasing number of travelers are choosing a destination based on a movie or TV series<\/strong>, a growing phenomenon known as set-jetting<\/strong>. Who among us hasn’t dreamed of being transported to the place where our favourite protagonists live out their story and adventures?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal is not simply to visit a place, but rather to step into a narrative universe that has inspired us<\/strong>, trying to make what we saw on the screen come true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psychology of set-jetting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The term derives from “jet setting”, literally traveling the world, and “film set”. This trend unites two worlds, that of cinema and that of travel.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a location of a movie you loved, you don’t just go on a trip. It’s pure emotional tourism, an immersive experience that makes you feel part of the story<\/strong>. A way to relive the emotions of your favourite characters through the places that were the background to their events. From the gloomy atmospheres, to the sunny beaches, to the fantastic islands, to the elegant European cities, every destination turns into an opportunity to explore, in a world to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The distinctive feature of this way of traveling is its focus on imagery and the desire to connect with places already familiar from the screen. It’s not just about seeing a place, but experiencing it through different eyes, almost as if you were stepping into the script itself. A trail that takes you to an unknown destination and internalised at the same time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Movie sets, permanent attractions, and European cities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Set-jetting is attracting more and more travelers thanks to its immersive nature. Often, a fan becomes a true expert on the locations, even able to find glimpses of where certain scenes were filmed and, of course, take a selfie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some sets were specifically built and later converted into permanent attractions<\/strong>, such as the Warner Bros. studios in London or Universal Studios in Hollywood. In other cases, they are real places, such as cities, landscapes, and monuments, which have become iconic, like the famous “Peach Pitt” bar in Beverly Hills 90210.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lord of the Rings<\/strong> chose New Zealand <\/strong>as its filming location. Tolkien fans flock here from around the world to explore Middle-earth. Many original sets have been preserved to give interested travelers the opportunity to immerse themselves in the landscapes of the trilogy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
