I actually saw an advertisement on Cable TV promoting tourism to Colombia.

Yeah saw that today too for the first time, was on CNN (Channel 43 on Telmex). I wonder though is this a regional CNN, and the ads are different in each area? Perhap only shown in South America? Nonetheless, it was great to see...

This ad has been running on CNN in mainland USA for over a month.

Nice ad, but a little too tranquil. Doesn't come close to comparing with the "Come Back to Jamaica" and "One Love" Jamaican tourism ads. They stuck in the minds of viewers and did wonders for Jamaican tourism.

TBH, it blends too much in the background like one of those ads promoting Destin, Florida, etc. They need to step it up. Maybe include internationally-known Colombians and maybe a well-known Colombian song.

I didn't know there was an ad promoting Destin. Well here in Destin, I did see the Colombian tourism ad. I agree with Tones take. They need to liven it up a bit.

This ad is everywhere now. I wonder if it is generating much more interest from the golf shorts/hawaiian shirt tourists?
