I would say the DaVinci code did help pop tourism. I visited Paris last year and specifically visited St. Sulpice just becuase of the movie.

Some of the very popular places (Louvre, Westminster Abbey etc..) have had a strong cultural and historical appeal before the movie or book. Whatever attraction was gained from the DaVinci code for these places is on top of an existing following (does that make sense?)

I feel the movie and bood helped the cultural and pop tourism. It seems to have only harmed a Catholics' faith.

Just FYI, the Da Vinci Code is not history, it is fiction . To the actual qestion - pop culture because people arent visiting beacuse of the historical, cultural, or artistic content but because of the book. cant say that it either helped or hurt, no matter the reason why people visit, at least they learn something.

Do your own homework.
At least it was an interesting read.
It HAS helped French tourism, although all the thugs over there will manage to screw this up too.
