Kazakh travel agency Chocotravel launches tasteless ad campaign

Share

Chocotravel, a travel agency from Kazaktstan has stirred up emotions on social media by launching an advertising campaign on YouTube and Facebook. In the advert a female model says: “Hello, at Chocotravel you can buy a ticket for my flight.”, “Or for my flight”, another model responds.

Most of the remarks on social media are going from “tasteless” to “sexist”.

Meanwhile the Chocotravel CEO Nikolay Mazentsev offered his apologies on Facebook if people felt insulted by the campaign but responded by saying that the movie is about the people you see near the pool or the beach. Besides, he added: we also made a video with male models.

Hmmmm ….. question marks raised … not my kind of choco …

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
