One of my daily routines is to check the Mexican (and other Hispanic papers) online every morning to see if there is any coverage of Canada. Lately there's been quite a bit of coverage (not necessarily about Canada per se) because of the U-20 World Cup (see post below this one). But this morning there was a note on Mexican newspaper Reforma online about Winnipeg's Po rno Pizza (deliberately misspelled to avoid spam filters), a pizza shop that includes racy (perhaps ponographic, I don't know) pictures on the bottoms of their pizza boxes. Nothing like a little sax (also deliberately misspelled) to attract attention. As Jens Thraenhart has indicated in his Tourism Internet Marketing blog: Sax Sells - "Sax Sells...Destinations" (referring to recent marketing campaigns like "Date a Hot Scot."). I am not, by any means, suggesting that we all go out and find ways to add sax to our tourism marketing, but perhaps adding a bit of sexyness wouldn't hurt. After all Canadians are some of the sexiest people I have seen in my travels (in fact, I married one - for those of you who don't know I am Canadian Mexican). Po rno Pizza has generated quite a bit of media coverage. In addition to Mexico's Reforma, it has been coverd by the CBC, Canoe, The Winnipeg Sun , 26 Noticias (Argentina), Terra España Metro in the UK and The Australian, This novel idea of selling pizza with a side of pon may not say Winnipeg is a great destination, but hey, you could say, if you want good pizza, come to Winnipeg. I'll have the Missionary Position Pizza please (double pepperoni, double mushroom), gracias.
