Potential Tourism Benefits of The Gilded Age
•
It is premature to estimate specific impacts of the Gilded Age on tourism, but early
signs are promising.
The Gilded Age has been “green-lit" for a second season after only a few episodes
of its inaugural season, it has continued to increase in audience viewership across
its first season, and it ranked among the top ten in-demand series at points during
this period (Parrot Analytics, 2022).
A preliminary estimate of exposure value suggests that each distinct exposure of
Newport in an episode could be valued at $45,000 in advertising value.

exterior shots of Rhode Island locations and scenes filmed in the interior of the Newport Mansions.
