New Film to attract Tourism to Tenerife

Oct. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Films have long since been an attractive way to advertise locations, make a successful film based around a certain location and you can almost guarantee an increase in tourism. The fifties saw Hawaii cemented as a firm tourist spot due to From Here to Eternity, and every major city seems to have a your of its favourite film spots, New York encourages all forms of film tourism with Woody Allen country being explored with tours, even Seinfeld. Then there is San Francisco drawing on its Hitchcock master piece Vertigo.

Tenerife are hoping that a new release featuring the island will hold a good deal of appeal to tourists and strengthen the already Island’s already strong popularity.

The movie, entitled ‘One More Hour in the Canaries’, is set to be great tool for the island’s promotion.  

While the film draws on many of the island’s more famous sites, it is also concerned with the Island’s many hidden treasures, and may serve to shed some light on the lesser known treasures of the Island, and encourage a flow of off the beaten track tourism.

The agency Tourism of Tenerife has already devised a track for travelling through the locations of the film, that are not so often seen on more conventional tours of the island. While the film may highlight characteristic sights, it is has also thrown up some more unconventional views. Also being provided are maps of how to get some of the lesser known destinations and sets of the film.
Earlier this year the release of Clash of the Titans saw an influx of travel in to the island, with many apartments in Tenerife becoming fully booked over the summer as tourists flocked to the Island.
With One More Hour in Canaria, we see the Island’s reputation being strengthened as a cinematic setting.

Tenerife’s Tourism Councillor is really keen on the proliferation of films made in Tenerife, each film adding to a budding reputation of the island.

The film itself is strange fare mixing comedy, romance, musical and fantasy all in to one strange concoction of cinema, much like Moulin Rouge did ten years ago. It centres around its 35 year old heroine, who is attractive and affluent, generally speaking with everything going for her in life. She has a good looking husband, a good looking son and a good looking lover, this as you can imagine is where the drama begins to come from. The young lover gets fed up of being the secret boyfriend and strays in to the arms of a new girlfriend, much to our protagonist’s jealousy.

The shooting took place all over the island earlier this year and couldn’t have played in to Tenerife’s tourist agenda any more perfectly, to highlight the diversity on offer in the island.
The film cost four million Euros to make and so far has had a limited release throughout certain spot of Europe and is soon due to be aired on Spanish television, where it set to receive a substantial audience.
