For example, the Scottish Highlands itinerary takes you to scenic spots as seen in Outlander, The Diplomat and Downton Abbey.<\/p>\n<p>The UK is also a popular spot for film crews, so the page is constantly being updated following new launches like Wuthering Heights earlier this year and will be added to after the new Harry Potter series comes out.<\/p>\n<h2>Great Britain on screen<\/h2>\n<p>At World Travel Market in London, VisitBritain CEO Patricia Yates told Euronews Travel about the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely essential to what we do to get visitors to explore more outside of London, and we do that in two ways,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne is the practicality \u2013 we&#8217;re a small island, travel is really easy. It\u2019s a couple of hours to Manchester or Liverpool, or you can fly into Manchester, then it&#8217;s three hours up to Newcastle and Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe second way is, of course, why should you go, compelling storytelling. I would say \u2018Starring GREAT Britain\u2019 has shown that we can do that using the power of film. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we&#8217;re seeing is that every region has a story to tell. And the tourism industry is coming in behind us and building tourism product that\u2019s bookable for international visitors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Set-jetting has been a major travel trend for years now, with destinations seeing big boosts in visitor numbers thanks to shows and films like Game of Thrones, The White Lotus, and Dune.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.5625\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/98\/15\/52\/808x454_cmsv2_30d1173c-2af4-5a23-8e2c-e18c5af1ad36-9981552.jpg\" alt=\"Alnwick Castle \"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Alnwick Castle <\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Clement Proust\/Unsplash<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Tourism has a distribution problem<\/h2>\n<p>Many European countries are battling with problematic concentrations of tourists in cities that just can\u2019t handle any more visitors, leading to protests from locals.<\/p>\n<p>While London can handle the number of tourists it currently sees, VisitBritain is careful to not send people to smaller destinations that are reaching their limit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s absolutely imperative that we deliver tourism that benefits businesses, but also benefits local communities, and that is forefront in our minds,\u201d Yates added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do that by looking at where we send visitors, making sure we&#8217;re promoting places that have the infrastructure, have the capacity and want visitors at that time of year. And we don&#8217;t promote places that don&#8217;t want visitors and that are feeling the pinch a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like all tourism boards, VisitBritain also wants to attract \u201cgood\u201d visitors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is someone that comes and explores and wants to know more about a destination, and it is someone who spends longer and takes time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that is a trend that we&#8217;re seeing with all international travel. We all want that emotional, personal connection and time to slow down a little.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Head to England\u2019s north east<\/h2>\n<p>Aside from all of the set-jetting itineraries, Yates highlighted the north east of England as somewhere to add to your must-visit list.<\/p>\n<p>The historical theme park Kynren just opened there in July, and sees 1,200 local performers telling the story of England.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, for Potterheads, the stunning Alnwick Castle in Northumberland is where Harry Potter learned to ride a broomstick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>

Yet for many travellers, the only place they see is London.While the UK capital is fantastic, tourists are missing out by not venturing beyond the M25 \u2013 and the regions are failing to benefit from the economic benefits that come from additional visitors, too.Tourist board VisitBritain is tasked with encouraging people to do just that, and one of its major campaigns is \u201cStarring GREAT Britain\u201d, which highlights the real-life destinations featured in movies and TV shows shot there.Launched in January 2025, VisitBritain has a map of all the filming locations you can stop at, as well as suggested itineraries split by region. For example, the Scottish Highlands itinerary takes you to scenic spots as seen in Outlander, The Diplomat and Downton Abbey.The UK is also a popular spot for film crews, so the page is constantly being updated following new launches like Wuthering Heights earlier this year and will be added to after the new Harry Potter series comes out.Great Britain on screenAt World Travel Market in London, VisitBritain CEO Patricia Yates told Euronews Travel about the campaign.\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely essential to what we do to get visitors to explore more outside of London, and we do that in two ways,\u201d she said.\u201cOne is the practicality \u2013 we&#8217;re a small island, travel is really easy. It\u2019s a couple of hours to Manchester or Liverpool, or you can fly into Manchester, then it&#8217;s three hours up to Newcastle and Scotland.\u201cThe second way is, of course, why should you go, compelling storytelling. I would say \u2018Starring GREAT Britain\u2019 has shown that we can do that using the power of film.\u00a0\u201cWhat we&#8217;re seeing is that every region has a story to tell. And the tourism industry is coming in behind us and building tourism product that\u2019s bookable for international visitors.\u201dSet-jetting has been a major travel trend for years now, with destinations seeing big boosts in visitor numbers thanks to shows and films like Game of Thrones, The White Lotus, and Dune.Tourism has a distribution problem\u00a0Many European countries are battling with problematic concentrations of tourists in cities that just can\u2019t handle any more visitors, leading to protests from locals.While London can handle the number of tourists it currently sees, VisitBritain is careful to not send people to smaller destinations that are reaching their limit.\u201cIt&#8217;s absolutely imperative that we deliver tourism that benefits businesses, but also benefits local communities, and that is forefront in our minds,\u201d Yates added.\u201cWe do that by looking at where we send visitors, making sure we&#8217;re promoting places that have the infrastructure, have the capacity and want visitors at that time of year. And we don&#8217;t promote places that don&#8217;t want visitors and that are feeling the pinch a bit.\u201dLike all tourism boards, VisitBritain also wants to attract \u201cgood\u201d visitors.\u201cIt is someone that comes and explores and wants to know more about a destination, and it is someone who spends longer and takes time,\u201d she said.\u201cI think that is a trend that we&#8217;re seeing with all international travel. We all want that emotional, personal connection and time to slow down a little.\u201dHead to England\u2019s north eastAside from all of the set-jetting itineraries, Yates highlighted the north east of England as somewhere to add to your must-visit list.The historical theme park Kynren just opened there in July, and sees 1,200 local performers telling the story of England.Plus, for Potterheads, the stunning Alnwick Castle in Northumberland is where Harry Potter learned to ride a broomstick.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/11\/06\/starring-great-britain-how-set-jetting-is-helping-distribute-tourists-across-the-regions&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/98\/15\/52\/1200x675_cmsv2_8ba681bf-54c2-500a-9527-e35f366cf98f-9981552.jpg&#8221;] Destinations From gastronomy to sports: What to discover in the Region of Valencia Destinations Discover hidden gems, slow food and festivals in the Philippines Health news US measles cases exceed 5,000, hitting a 35-year high in 2026 Economy Foreign buyers push Spanish home sales to record 16% amid record prices Travel Destinations [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2242636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2242636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2242636"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2242636\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2242636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2242636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2242636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
