Syria Circulates Polished Tourism Videos as Civil War Rages On

An account connected to Syria’s Tourism Ministry has released a dozen promotional videos over the past three weeks showing scenic shots of its beaches and ancient sites in an effort to spur tourism in the war-torn country, the Washington Post reported Friday.
One of the videos, titled “Syria Always Beatiful” in misspelled English, was shot with a drone hovering over the turquoise sea while hundreds of people wade in the water, ride jet skis, or relax on the beach. Upbeat electronic music plays in the background.
Another video shows a shot of the UNESCO World Heritage site in the city of Palmyra that was liberated from the Islamic State in March after the terrorist group destroyed ancient artifacts and landmarks there.
