Hollywood inspires to visit the Greek islands: 6 out of 10 Americans decide to come to us after watching a movie

Among the top destinations chosen by travelers this year, motivated by TV shows and movies, are the Greek islands, according to a survey conducted shortly before the 95th Academy Awards (March 12) by OnePoll on behalf of Skyscanner among a sample of 1,000 Americans.

The results of the survey show which films released last year inspire moviegoers to travel the most, as well as identify priority destinations for 2023:

  • Greek Islands (Τα ελληνικά νησιά, Triangle of Sadness)
  • Berlin (Βερολίνο, Tár)
  • San Diego (Σαν Ντιέκγο, Top Gun: Maverick)
  • Ireland (Ιρλανδία, The Banshees of Inisherin)
  • Memphis (Μέμφις, Elvis)
  • Sicily (Σικελία, The White Lotus)
  • Yellowstone National Park
  • Paris (Παρίσι, Emily in Paris)
  • London (Λονδίνο, You)
  • B. Carolina (Καρολίνα, Outer Banks).

The survey found that more than six in ten Americans (63%) were inspired to visit a destination because of a movie or TV show they watched. The two most popular productions, in terms of travel inspiration, were The Banshee of Inisherin and Emily in Paris, with 49% of the votes.

Traveling to your destination captured on the big or small screen is a growing trend in 2023. confirms Skyscanner travel and destination trends expert Laura Lindsey.
