The Canary Islands, 25 May 2017 – The Spanish Advertising Media Association (AMPE) and ‘Actualidad Económica’ magazine have acknowledged the merits of the Canary Islands’ tourism promotion this Wednesday in Madrid, giving awards to two recent campaigns by Promotur Turismo de Canarias, the entity attached to the Canary Islands’ Regional Ministry for Tourism, Culture and Sport.

The association bringing together the national advertising media has bestowed two silver awards on the campaigns Ya es invierno en las Islas Canarias, in the Foreign Advertising category, and #StopBlueMonday in the Digital Media category. The seasoned Spanish magazine ‘Actualidad Económica’ also included the video Vaho as one of the top 100 ideas of 2016 in the business and economy section.

The AMPE award for the initiative Ya es invierno en las Islas Canarias, picked up by Promotur Turismo de Canarias’ manager María Mendez, is the first for this campaign, created last winter for some of the Canary Islands’ most important tourism markets such as the Spanish mainland, Germany and the United Kingdom, among others. It promoted the mild Canarian climate and its record number of sunny days during the winter months. The campaign even managed to place a huge canvas across the façade of a building on one of the most frequented avenues in the centre of Madrid.

Likewise, both #StopBlueMonday and Vaho have already accumulated a long list of national and international acknowledgements, in addition to a full line of awards at advertising festivals and competitions in both Europe and America for Promotur Turismo de Canarias’ many other actions and campaigns.
