MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The botched tourism video produced by ad agency DBB for the Philippines Department of Tourism may work after all.

After the flak from the promo video using stock images from countries other than the Philippines, “Love The Philippines” may have unintended positive consequences, according to travel experts.

Foreign tourists may shun the Philippines because news about the deceptive video has reached the international community.

Consequently, the Philippines will see a decline in tourist arrivals which means there will be no queues at immigration and customs kiosks at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

Experts conclude that one of the most effective tourism gimmicks are photos or videos of airport arrivals showing no crowds or queues.

Love prevails. Love The Philippines.
