Stirling Castle, Heathrow Airport and Blenheim Palace have all been placed on a map of Bollywood Britain which hopes to attract Indian tourists to the UK. The map features film locations from about 30 Bollywood blockbusters like Bride and Prejudice. It will be distributed ahead of the 2007 Bollywood film awards, which are being held in Yorkshire from 7 June.
VisitBritain, which created the map, says Indians made 339,000 trips to the UK in 2006, up 25% from 2005. The tourism service will hand out 3,000 copies to directors and film stars at the Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards.. Another 30,000 maps will be distributed in India, and a website has been launched to support the scheme.
