"Travellers might not necessarily know that that would be an interesting place to travel when you get here." "I think that’s really the exciting thing for us – exploring the hidden gems in the province that we as Albertans know about," added Gaffney. More than 180 locations in Alberta were used for the filming, including Calgary and Edmonton as well as some of Alberta’s smaller spots like Canmore, Fort Macleod and Waterton. It’s the largest production ever shot in Canada, costing upwards of $100million for the nine-episode season. "What we're experiencing right now, I think, is a cultural moment in Alberta, a cultural moment with the game and the show and we are part of the conversation," said Gaffney. With 21 million viewers per episode, the series is showing the world what our province has to offer. However, the HBO show, based off the critically acclaimed video game, was actually filmed right here in Alberta. The Last of Us tells the story of two people making their way across a post-apocalyptic United States,trying to find a cure for a fungal-baseddisease devastating the world. "There's a moment here in Alberta where we're on the map in Canada as a place to come and film and visit," said Tannis Gaffney, chief marketing officer with Travel Alberta. The hit show was filmed in locations across Alberta and an expected tourism boom could be on the horizon for many of the filming locations. The first season of HBO’s The Last of Us aired its finale on March 12 and the show has been taking the world by storm since its premiere.
