Description
Extrait du sujet :
VisitScotland has identified a new tourism trend – the “consoliday” (console-holiday) –
people choosing to experience in real life the landscapes they see virtually before them
within the games, or wanting to visit the country in which the game was conceived.
Minecraft fans turned out in their thousands to catch a glimpse of YouTube legend Stampy
5 the Cat in Dundee last month, and with big operators, such as Start The Adventure already
offering “gaming adventure tours”, the national tourism organisation is hoping consolidays
could be as popular as ‘set-jetting’, where people visit a destination after seeing it in a film.
Scotland features in a number of games such as Grand Theft Auto (the Forth bridges and
other destinations), Call of Duty: Ghosts (Stonehaven/Dunnottar Castle), Tomb Raider III
10 (Loch Ness), Project Gotham Racing 2 (Edinburgh), and the Tiger Woods PGA Tour
series.
In addition to being inspired by on-screen
landscapes, fans also visit Scotland to see
where their favourite games were created in
15 cities such as Dundee and Edinburgh.
