Will A Bollywood Movie Bring More Indian Tourists?

The Miami-Dade tourism bureau is hoping that a Bollywood movie filmed on Miami Beach will attract visitors from the subcontinent:

The Miami-Dade County tourism bureau recently sponsored screenings in Mumbai of a new Bollywood movie called Dostana (music video below). It was filmed in Miami, and includes shots of the city’s skyline and beaches.

The Florida city's hopes aren’t that far-fetched. Indian tourism to the Swiss Alps skyrocketed after Bollywood directors began filming in the region. I remember being amazed finding an Indian restaurant in the Jungfrau observatory on a Swiss mountain top.

If this results in a few good Indian restaurants on the beach, that would be awesome.
