The combination of cheap and effortless accessibility to an unlimited amount of content as well as the possibility to not only consume series at home but also on mobile devices while commuting to work or traveling are likely to facilitate, encourage, or even trigger excessive consumption behaviors. This high-dosage use of series content is frequently referred to as binge-watching

The excessive use of audiovisual content, such as TV series or movies, is not a new phenomenon. Nevertheless, it has gained relevance within the last couple of years, as the popularity and consumption of TV series has reached levels. One of the driving forces behind this trend is that streaming platforms, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney + etc, offer their subscribers unlimited access to an increasing number of serialized programs at an affordable rate.

TV has evolved dramatically in recent years, but some things never change : It helps families relax and spend quality time together, TV is a conversation starter. It inspires discussion, helping people find common ground with others.

Opportunities for business

Economic impact

When a new production is filmed , local businesses can benefit by providing services to film crews. This can range from creative industries services to accommodation and transport. An increase in screen tourism visitors to Northern Ireland means an increase in potential customers for tourism and hospitality businesses. By providing specific offerings for screen tourism visitors, businesses can make the most of the opportunity. Examples include: location tours themed food offerings visitor experiences screenings exhibitions fan events

Screen tourism can have a huge economic impact on the tourism industry. Game of Thrones presents a similar opportunity for Northern Ireland. Tourism NI estimates that the Game of Thrones series contributed to the number of visitors coming to Northern Ireland in 2016. A total of 120,000 tourists generated around £30 million to the local economy.

Screen tourism or film tourism is a location that becomes popular with visitors because it has appeared in a film or television series. Tourists enjoy visiting places they see on screen. Fans want to visit specific landmarks, places and buildings from scenes in their favourite TV shows and films. TV shows and films can as a result raise the profile of the city or country where the story is set.
