Haiti’s Tourism Ministry has unveiled its first tourism marketing commercial.

The video, mostly in Creole with English subtitles, stars a group of Haitians describing the country’s history, culture, cuisine and beaches.

“You’ve never been to Haiti?” a man asks. “Come and discover my country.”

Haiti’s Tourism Ministry has been seeking to develop tourism in a country long off the radar of international travelers and with a still largely undeveloped tourism infrastructure.

“Come to Haiti,” an English-speaking narrator says to conclude the video. “Discover the soul of the Caribbean.”

The Ministry has not announced where the ad is intended to air.

See more in the video above.
