Who’d have thought that artistic and creative endeavour helps generate tourist pulling power?! That’s, like, one of the things we’ve been going on about for ages - and it seems it’s especially true of TV and film.

Just check out the report by Olsberg|SPI called Stately Attraction - How Film and Television Programmes Promote Tourism in the UK.

One example is Port Isaac in Cornwall, which ‘has seen tourism levels rise thanks to Doc Martin, the series starring Martin Clunes as a doctor who’s relocated to Cornwall from London’.

Hmm, you can see the appeal…
