According to Srećko Horvat, a Croatian philosopher, the remote island which represents the make-believe island of Kalokairi in the film, is currently preparing to go through a similar fate to the location of the original film: the Greek island of Skopelo.
In 2008, the “Mamma Mia effect” was a phrase collected to explain the way the original £460m-earning movie activated unparallel demand for hotel accommodation on the tiny Aegean island and sent prices in local bars and restaurants tall. In spite of concerns about the negative effect of these tourism “invasions” and the risk of “overtourism”, it has been seen that some of the Greek islanders have shown their distress about the decision to film the sequel elsewhere. If Skopelos can no longer claim to be the Mamma Mia island, the revenue from film tourists might now be enjoyed by the Croatian island instead.
