Travel in Films and print media: Representation of Travels in Media

Abstract

Travel has been depicted in various forms of media such as films and print media for many decades. In films, travel is often portrayed as a source of adventure, romance, and escape from the routine of everyday life. Movies such as “The Darjeeling Limited” and “Into the Wild” showcase travel as an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. Both films and print media have a significant impact on shaping public perception and influencing travel decisions. They often present idealized view of travel, and can oversimplify or misrepresent the reality of a destination. This study looks at post-pandemic changes in films and media.
