Our direction: Tampa already has water and sunsets, but it sits on the Gulf, where the water is flat and there is no rainforest. So we will not sell them another beach. We sell what the Gulf cannot give them: Pacific waves you can surf, jungle that runs down to the sand, and sloths, monkeys and toucans in the trees. The new morning nonstop and our airport transfer are the easy part, so they come second.
Each direction below plays that angle a different way, with one Miamar ad and one Parador ad shown the way people will see them. Pick the one you like at the end of its section.
