Tourism tropes


We were talking about this in connection with my European Studies course - different views of countries as expressed through tourism literature.
This is a poster in Bucharest two and a half years ago - note how the concept of the grand tour is still with us, how more expensive the UK is, and how Tower Bridge is an enduring icon (also used in Eurovision 1999 by Israel).
As always, click on the picture to make it larger.
