Norwegian tourism boomed thanks in great part to Disney’s hit movie Frozen

Much of the decision was based on the boost in travel to Scotland as a result of the hit movie “Brave”. That country embarked on a similar partnership with Disney upon the release of “Brave” in 2012. Now tourism officials there say “Brave”-related visits were estimated to have brought in $200 million over the following five years.
