Whether it’s Paddington’s adventures in London, Moulin Rouge in the heart of Paris, or watching the cast of Sex and the City strut through the streets of New York, many Brits are inspired to visit destinations due to the films they watch.

Of those Brits motivated by their film choices, research shows that they are inspired to visit all corners of the world.

This extends even as far as the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt and the world’s largest tropical rainforest, the Amazon in Peru.

A survey of 2,000 people conducted by KAYAK, the travel search engine and official travel partner of Paddington in Peru, revealed many are prepared to travel to see major filming spots.
