Film-induced tourism — known as “set-jetting” — has evolved from occasional spikes around major releases into a consistent, multi-billion-dollar global industry. The global screen tourism sector was valued at $66 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $71.4 billion in 2026, with long-term projections placing the market at approximately $145 billion by 2035[reference:0]. According to Expedia‘s 2026 “Unpack ’26” trend report, 81% of Gen Z and Millennial travelers now plan their holidays based on locations featured in film and television, making set-jetting one of the hottest travel trends for 2026[reference:1].
From the rugged landscapes of Dune in Jordan to the coastal beauty of The White Lotus in Sicily and the historic streets of the Dalmatian Coast featured in Game of Thrones, film location tours present unique audio challenges that consumer-grade equipment cannot handle. Filming locations are often vast, spread-out environments where groups naturally disperse to take photos and explore. Visitors want to capture the moment their favorite character stood in a particular spot, meaning they need to spread out while still hearing the guide‘s commentary. Wind, traffic noise, and other ambient sounds in outdoor settings further complicate audio delivery.
A professional wireless tour guide system with high channel capacity and long-range transmission solves every one of these challenges. For set-jetting tours serving international audiences, high channel capacity is essential. The ability to run multiple language channels simultaneously allows guides to serve English, Mandarin, Spanish, and Japanese speakers all in the same tour. A system with 80-100 channels eliminates the need to schedule separate language tours, maximizing tour capacity and revenue.
