The commercial aims to demonstrate South Africa's warmth and affability through the eyes of Indians who have experienced the country. They are real people telling their story in their own words and we hope that the Indian viewers can connect well with the ad. This New Year with our outdoor campaign we want to make South Africa top of the mind recall destination for everyone's travel plans. With these two campaigns we want to intrigue desire towards the destination & aid brand recall towards South Africa. We are confident that the television, outdoor and cinema campaign will definitely tempt the Indian audience to consider a holiday in South Africa and enjoy varied experiences that the Rainbow Nation has to offer.”
