Abstract

Film commissions are non-profit organizations that generally act under the authority of a government entity. Conceived with the aim of bringing economic benefits through the attraction and support of audiovisual productions, they can also establish connections with the development of film tourism. However, there are no scientific studies on a broader geographic scale that show the practical reality of these organizations, nor their relationship with tourism. Thus, this article, as a first exploratory effort, presents an overview of these entities, seeking to characterize their structure and functioning, in addition to their role in the development of film tourism. The research carried out was exploratory-descriptive, with a quantitative approach through the application of a survey with 87 entities that are members of the Association of Film Commissioners International (AFCI) and/or the European Film Commissions Network (EUFCN). Among the main findings, it was found that a large part of the sample operates in a regional scope, with small teams, and demonstrate knowledge about its importance for the tourist sector. The study concluded that film commissions, in addition to being essential agents for the promotion of the audiovisual and economic sector, can also play an active role in the development of tourism in their respective jurisdictions.
