Tourism Slogans

January 28, 2008 by Gene Veith

The Washington Post has a feature called the Style Invitational, in which readers are encouraged to make humorous or snarky contributions to a weekly topic. This time readers were challenged to come up with tourism slogans for various countries. Some of the better ones:

France: Visit, If You Must. (Sigh.) (Martin Bancroft, Rochester, N.Y.)

China: Come Visit Your Money (Ira Allen, Bethesda)

Denmark: Oh, So Nothing’s Rotten in YOUR Country? (Brendan Beary)

England: We Couldn’t Beat the Patriots Either (Bruce Evans, Arlington)

Germany: Genocide Free Since 1945! (Cy Gardner, Arlington)

India: For More Information Press 1 (Matthew Morris, Rockville, MD)

Iran: We’re Gonna Party Like It’s 999 (Brendan Beary)

Mexico: A Little Less Crowded Every Day (Dan Milam, Paducah, Ky)

Qatar: Wish U Were Here (Barry Koch)

Now it’s YOUR turn. . .

North Korea: “Bring food”
Russia: “Please come and visit, just don’t say or do anything that would get you in trouble”
Iran: “Axis of Evil Member since 2001”
Gaza: “Hate Jews? This is the place for you!”
Saudi Arabia: “Visit? You? Don’t be ridiculous. More oil? Now you’re talking!”
Pakistan: “If you think finding Bin Laden is so easy, why not come and do it yourself?”

TEXAS: God Pro-Texas (read it about three or four times and you’ll see the subliminal message – the tone changes from Texas (supposed) “arrogance” to one of true humility when you catch on).
