For its 2009 tourism campaign, the government of Newfoundland and Labrador launched three new TV spots that lure hapless viewers with even more unique aspects of The Rock. The spots, developed by Target in St. John’s, focus on Newfoundland’s history as an early Viking settlement, its cheerful architecture and its breathtaking vistas. Check out the videos here.
