Teacher essay summary
This answer contains lots of relevant policy detail, and shows the impacts that the Lord of the Rings film is having on tourism in NZ. It is well structured and easy to read. References are relevant and well-used. It could perhaps be criticised for taking a rather uncritical view of the information presented - there is not much critical discussion. Different view points are not examined. At times the answer focuses on visitor numbers rather than impacts on policy.

Kearsley (2002) has said that "if this film (Lord of the Rings) achieves half of what is expected, it will be massive for New Zealand". Critically examine the impact of the film of New Zealand tourism policy.
The Lord of the Rings was written by J.R.R. Tolkien in 1954 and has become one of the most well known and read books in history. Christmas 2001 saw the long awaited release of the first part of the film trilogy directed by New Zealander Peter Jackson.
The films took eighteen months to make and were filmed on location in New Zealand at a cost of more than £200 million (Newsround, 2001). The book itself was a massive hit worldwide and the films look set to be just as successful. The first in the trilogy, "The Fellowship of the Ring" has won four Oscars (Syfy Portal, 2002) and five Baftas (Gibbons, 2002).
This essay aims to examine whether "The Lord of the Rings" will be as much of a success for New Zealand's tourism industry as it has been for it's director, Peter Jackson and the impact that the film has already had on New Zealand's tourism policies.
