Vende Patria El Salvador Ministry of Tourism

During 2015, San Salvador has been positioned by media as the “Homicide Capital of the World,” affecting El Salvador’s global perception. Worried about the decrease in tourisim entries, the Ministry of Tourism of El Salvador asked agencies for proposals to increase interest among American citizens. “We don't need to generate interest. We need to change the conversation,” we responded.

According to Gallup's latest poll, 40% of Americans trust mass-media such as newspapers. Nielsen, on the other hand, reported that 67% of Americans trust "Editorial content such as newspapers articles" while 84% trust "Recommendations from People I Know". The gap is relevant.

Travellers and tourists who have been to El Salvador know that the country’s greatest asset, beside its beaches, is its people. El Salvador may not have iconic landmarks but one thing is true: Salvadorans make for the friendliest hosts in Central America.

THE OPPORTUNITY With more than 1.2 million Salvadoreans already in the US, we have an unused platform of people already trained to change the conversation about El Salvador.

THE ISSUE How to inspire confidence? Why would a Salvadoran want to talk positively about their country?

OUR INSIGHT As Salvadorans, we value 4 things: our mother, our religion, our ”Selecta”, and being an expat, our country. No one can talk bullshit about these values, not even another Salvadorean.

CHALLENGE Defend the name of El Salvador.

IDEA Vende Patria (“country-sellers”)

EXECUTION No Salvadoran wants to be seen as a "Vende Patria" because it means he/she has no values at all. So, what happens when he/she declares to be a Vende Patria? By playing with the word “Vende Patria” we tickle Salvadoran’s pride to transform them from passive expats to active "country-sellers"
