An Israeli man who survived for 21 days in the Bolivian Amazon in 1981 says he expects an upcoming film about his ordeal to create a tourist "tsunami" in the remote region.
The movie, titled Jungle and currently in post-production, is based on Yossi Ghinsberg's book of the same name about his harrowing experience and will star British actor Daniel Radcliffe.
"My book had a big impact on this part of the world. There was a wave of tourism" in Rurrenabaque, a small town in the northern Amazon province of Beni, and the nearby Madidi National Park, he told EFE.
"My thinking now is that with the film there's going to be a tsunami, not just a wave," Ghinsberg added.
