Trying to be less cynical in life but “everyone must go” as a tourism slogan has defeated me

Makes me think of the ghastly Aussie tourism slogan ‘where the bloody hell are you’ dreamed up by ScoMo. Went done like a cup of cold 🤮

1) evokes a clearance sale, often associated with desperation

2) implies nothing about why NZ is a good place to visit

3) is weirdly menacing?

It really is a slogan designed by a committee or AI. 🤷🏻‍♀️

4)Slight air of public toilets

More than slight!

I wonder if it was dreamed up by an Australian ad agency.

I thought we were moving from "a volume to a value model" for exports businesses? "Everyone must go" sounds disappointingly (but unsurprisingly) like 'more of the same'😠.

Wonder whatever happened to that Tourism Industry Transformation Plan supposedly shifting us to a sustainable model🤔?

Sigh.

I bet you could make a great “you laugh you lose” video out of the board room meeting where whoever proposed that

He’s talking about toilets. This government wants tourists to travel with a personal toilet. Special green warrant, $120 to the govt.

Unfortunately "Everyone Poops" was already taken by a children's book.

It makes it sound like they have valued everyone resident in Aotearoa New Zealand for sale. I would like to think I can make a better offer on me.

It’s SO lame…

I feel like advertising us as a good place to die isn’t such a great tourism enhancing one liner

A cynic's just an idealist who has known much disappointment.

I'm just gobsmacked. While scientists, engineers and other skilled people are fleeing the country due to the current policies... what were they thinking?

Sounds like a call to evacuate
