There are plenty of places that were once undervalued and under the radar, and are now praised and deemed as must-visit tourist destinations. And though most of these places have become well-known through word-of-mouth and advertising, there are others who have film producers and actors to thank for their fame. This act of traveling to locations featured in popular film is referred to as a "Location Vacation. There are some instances when filmmakers would look for a little-known or remote place to film their scenes, for the sake of creating a more authentic feel for their projects. And luckily for some of these unheralded places, they will experience a surge of tourism as a result of these filming productions. Here’s some examples of the real-life locations that were made popular by films.
1. Hatley Castle
 
Hatley Park National Historic Site is located in Colwood, British Columbia in Greater Victoria. It is the site of Hatley Castle, a Classified Federal Heritage Building. Since 1995, the mansion and estate have been used for the public Royal Roads University. The castle has been featured in two series of X-Men related media as Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

The three films (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King) based on the novel The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien were shot in various locations throughout New Zealand, and many of these locations have been preserved and altered to encourage the tourism that makes up a significant portion of the country’s economy.
