From New Zealand to India, locations used for international versions of the reality show are open for bookings.
The dramatic castles and estates that serve as the backdrop for international versions of the reality competition series "The Traitors" are available for fans to book, offering a unique travel opportunity inspired by the show.
The series, which originated in the Netherlands in 2021, has since expanded to over 30 countries, with many of its filming locations now welcoming guests. This phenomenon, dubbed 'Traitors Tourism,' has been noted for its potential to boost local economies.
In the UK alone, the show has reportedly contributed £21.8 million to the Scottish economy. Now, international fans can experience similar settings.
