The complementary relationship between the film industry and tourism has been analyzed by a relatively large number of academics but they did not researched all of their consequences. After analyzing the literature, it can be concluded that not enough importance is dedicated to thorough analysis of the relationship between false and real history. Many destinations as well as the Republic of Croatia have played the role of stage in numerous film projects, but today the question arises at what price? Every form of tourism comes with positive and negative effects, but is the creation of a false history of the destination, especially nowadays, an irreversible short-lived mistake? Judging by analized examples such as Captain Corelli's Mandolin, The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Winnetou, but also Game of Thrones, representation of history greatly influences the perception of tourists. It is safe to say that the fake history is more dominant today than the real one because of its commodification and satisfaction of commercial desires. Of course, its relevance is relatively short and always changes depending on the wishes and needs of the market. Real history possesses something that the false history, despite its best efforts, will never have, and that is timelessness. All the films and stories again included in their screening capture real factors whether it was architecture, history or the people. In the end, it all comes down to the decision of market stakeholders who have the choice to choose false history and relatively short-term earnings or real history and all-time fame.
