According to the latest ad from [Tourism Toronto](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-of-connoisseurs), "the views are different here." With everything from ballet dancers riding the subway to José Bautista's famous bat flip crammed into one minute-long clip, the ad provides an mesmerizing overview of what Toronto has to offer.

The promotional ad for Toronto was created as a way to celebrate the city's "civic swagger," according to Tourism Toronto's executive VP and CMO Andrew Weir. Instead of offering one cohesive image of the city, the ad puts [Toronto's diversity and multiculturalism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ink-the-rainbow) front and center with people of all backgrounds. The ad even features the tagline "all flavours are welcome" as a nod to inclusivity and acceptance.

While the ad was not explicitly created as a way to differentiate Canada's largest city from the US, the campaign certainly sends the message that Toronto is a warm and welcoming place for [international travelers of all backgrounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-changed-me).
