Costa Rica Tourism
Creating a new world of travel content
Challenge
Costa Rica is the ideal Latin American country for a tropical adventure. Thanks to its lush rainforests, incredible wildlife, volcanoes and pristine beaches, it’s no surprise that the people who live there are some of the happiest in the world.
CNNIC were tasked with finding an astute way to drive Costa Rica’s tourism growth while staying true to the qualities that make the country unique.
Solution
Using the lens of holistic mind-body health, the campaign examined how the beauty of Costa Rica could naturally increase your sense of well-being. The focal point was a short film and ad feature, which followed Brittany Fair, a neuro-scientist and yoga teacher, as she mixed science and the senses to explore the beauty, culture and people she encountered on her travels in Costa Rica.
Viewers experienced the country alongside Brittany with themes of personal development and wellness encouraging people to discover more.
