According to tourism consulting firm MTC Group, which offers advisory services to the Municipality of Paros, film tourism is important for the promotion of Paros as a destination to the world and to the island’s local economy.
A recent Expedia study, conducted on behalf of Tendance Hotellerie, said that documentaries, films and TV series are now the second most popular source of inspiration for a trip (20 percent), surpassing social media networks (13 percent), and recommendations from friends or family (42 percent).
The same was found by a TCI Research study, according to which some 80 million travelers now choose their holiday destination based on movies and TV shows.
“Malice” is produced with the contribution of the Municipality of Paros, the support of EKOME (National Centre for Audiovisual Media and Communication), an organization supervised by the Ministry of Digital Governance, as well as the Culture Ministry through the Hellenic Film Commission of the Greek Film Center.
