Tourism Videos Help & Hurt Destinations

A tourism video can do a lot for a particular destination. From the informative to the chic and stylish to the downright bizarre, each locale has its own unique way of doing some self promoting. One thing is for sure with all these videos, they are definitely putting a lot of money into them. I mean most look like trailers to some new blockbuster movie.

Below are just a sampling of some tourism videos that caught my attention online. Enjoy.

Montreal: Sexy, smart and fun. This video hits the nail on the head when it comes to what tourists will experience in this great Canadian city.

Australia: I am not sure what the Aussies were trying to pull off with this weird ad. Interesting to say the least.

China: I feel like I should be chomping on a big tub of popcorn and a giant soda in a dark theater when I watch this video. Can not wait for the sequel!

Peru: Now this is the quintessential tourism video in my opinion. I mean they provide you with everything you need to know about Peru in a little over five minutes. Well done.

Las Vegas: Zzzzz. Pretty lame by Vegas standards. Also very predictable. Bikini clad women in a hot tub or pool. Check. A bunch of cool dudes rolling the dice and high fiving. Check. We get it. Yawn.
