"All within your reach"? That makes no sense at all, unless by "all" you mean "anything between here and Boston" since otherwise it's kind of a pain in the ass, though maybe they're referring to driving, at which point it's the opposite.
El Salvador is supposedly "The 45-minute Country." Boggling

'Orange - the Colour City'. Meant to refer to our autumn colours but apparently some Americans thought it referred to gangs.
'Where the bloody hell are you?' Genius move from our national tourism body who totally misunderstood how this would be received by some other English-speaking countries.

"The Original Cool"
OK.
And then I work in
"The place to be"
I see Israel is "Land of Creation", so they've missed the science lesson, and why does Spain have a hashtag?

The 100% pure is 100% bollocks. Now now, it's only 45% bollocks. |

I wonder which idiot made up all these slogans? They're not very good liars.
"There's NOTHING like Australia" - hahahahaha! I noticed the big NOTHING is right over the middle of Australia where there is nothing much!
And I thought Thailand's catch phrase was Thailand, the Land of Smiles.

I think it's whatever the country's tourist office came up with.
Although I thought Scotland's was "Visit Scotland"

I’ve been seeking the unexplored for the last 3 weeks.
Problem was, I had a travel companion who couldn’t cope.

The one for Wales is weird. I'm guessing something hasn't translated from Welsh very well.

Fortunately, she left a week early, and the rest of us got some peace. She was a complete control freak! |
