Warning: Major spoilers ahead for No Time To Die
No Time To Die's shooting locations continue the established James Bond tradition of filming in exotic and cinematic locations around the world. Director Cary Joji filmed Daniel Craig's final 007 adventure between April to October 2019, and No Time To Die's shooting locations make for an impressive send-off. James Bond movies have always had an element of a travelog as part of their formula.

The James Bond movies are escapist entertainment that allowed audiences to see parts of the world they might never otherwise have seen.
Filming a James Bond movie on location is a big deal, and often forever associates that location in the mind of the public with 007. For example, after The Man with the Golden Gun was filmed inPhang Nga Bay on the west coast of Thailand, the area was transformed into a major tourist attraction, with the iconic rocks becoming known as James Bond Island. Sometimes it's not possible or practical to film in the actual area the story is set, and therefore stand-in locations are used. Often a single sequence can be shot in numerous locations and put together seamlessly.
