The strategy employs a series of personalized billboards strategically placed in the home cities of sidelined football stars. By capturing the attention of these athletes, the Ministry of Tourism aims to leverage their public visibility to reach millions of fans who encounter the ads daily. The messaging highlights the country’s diverse geography, ranging from the Amazon rainforest and Galápagos Islands to volcanic landscapes and historic urban centers.
Ecuador Targets Football Stars Sidelined From Summer Tournament
In a bid to capture the global spotlight during this summer’s international football tournament, Ecuador’s tourism board is bypassing the pitch to reach the game’s biggest names. The campaign specifically targets high-profile players who missed the tournament roster, inviting them to spend their unexpected time off in the Andean nation.

While the invitations are directed at the players, the primary goal remains broader international exposure. The Secretary of Tourism confirmed that the government is prepared to facilitate travel for any athletes who accept the offer. Beyond individual visits, the initiative serves as a marketing bridge to fans in the players’ home markets, positioning Ecuador as a premier destination for future travel.
