"Game of Thrones has reportedly boosted the number of hotel bookings in locations where the fantasy epic is filmed. Travel site LateRooms.com has claimed that bookings are being made as the third season is aired, with people surging to the ice glaciers and vast cityscapes used in filming.  The desert town of Ouarzazate, Morocco is used for scenes with Daenerys Targaryen and has reportedly had a 100% increase in bookings since it was featured on the show. Bookings for Iceland, meanwhile, have improved by 13% after being used for the icy shots beyond the wall. In 2012, Dubrovnik in Croatia - used for the setting of King&amp;#039;s Landing - saw a 28% boost in hotel bookings. It saw the improvement after replacing a previous location in Malta due to contracting problems.  A spokesperson for the LateRooms.com said: &amp;quot;We are so pleased to see that the success of Game of Thrones is creating a knock-on effect for our hotels in Morocco and Iceland. &amp;quot;We have some great hotels near where the breathtaking action and scenery is filmed, and with so many Game of Thrones fans watching the new season, there is a short break with a suitably dramatic backdrop for them all!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
