The Oscar-winning film, “Nomadland,” has helped the state of South Dakota to receive an increase in tourism and bring an increase in sales to small businesses after millions watched the Chloé Zhao production.
Many attractions and locations that are shown in the film are real businesses in South Dakota, and even the state’s Tourism Department expects more visitors to come through over the next few months.
“Overall, what you’ll find is we certainly noticed that film drives a great amount of inspiration for consumers,” said Katlyn Svendsen, global media and public relations director for the department.
