SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, Dec. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- "Historical" is an adequate term to describe many of the actions and results of the work carried out by the Salvadoran Ministry of Tourism to promote the country internationally, through its executive arm, the Salvadoran Tourism Corporation (CORSATUR).

Proof of this is shown by the December 17 to December 31 airing of two El Salvador Impresionante! tourism promotional videos on the giant screen of the prestigious CBS television network in Times Square in New York City.

Hundreds of thousands of people will be able to appreciate El Salvador's beautiful landscapes, beaches, mountains, colonial towns, lakes, cities, faces, and much more. Every New Yorker and visitor to the city who walks past the screen, as well as those arriving to celebrate Christmas and New Year's Eve, can view the images daily.

"This program provides El Salvador with quality coverage in one of Manhattan's busiest areas for the Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations. Our National Tourism Plan 2014 (PNT) anticipates a rise in the arrival of American tourists, and this action is aimed at promoting El Salvador with that objective in mind," explained Ruben Rochi, Salvadoran Minister of Tourism.

CBS, one of the world's largest television networks to broadcast El Salvador's announcements to promote the land as a tourist destination, has several screens located in Times Square, the busiest subway station in New York City, and the Port Authority building, the world's busiest bus terminal.

The same screen that will show the Salvadoran promotional videos broadcasts The Late Show with David Letterman, CBS Evening News, and CSI, the world-acclaimed police show.
