US campaign entices Canada tourists: "Come visit America and also maybe El Salvador!"

“Hey Canada, we missed you, and more specifically, the potential $6 billion in travel dollars that we stand to lose!” explains the ad, appearing now on Canadian television. “We were just kidding about that 51st State thing, so why not spend your vacation dollars here?
