There was an article in yesterday's San Francisco Chronicle: Fictional places we love: Travel guide to our top film, literary sites that talks about fictional places that people would like to visit. Most of them were pretty mundane fictional settings that easily could be real settings. For some reason they decided to exclude science fiction and fantasy type fictional settings. Maybe because the point was that people are looking to take vacations inspired by TV, film or literary places and today it's still pretty hard to come close to a vacation inspired by Star Wars. I did manage to find a tour (Boutrostours) to Tunisia that mentions visiting a location where Star Wars was filmed.
I can certainly see where people (even today) would want a more fantasy/science fiction related vacation. Where would you go? Would it involve space flight? Aliens? Nature at it's best? Personally, a vacation to space doesn't interest me. I like fictional worlds where I can fly without the assistance of a space ship. A luck dragon like in the Never Ending Story would be okay, or wings like in When the Wind Blows. Hum, maybe I should be looking into hand gliding or parachuting vacations. But it wouldn't really be the same.
