Since she is surrounded by the land, her statement reinforces the virginity and penetrability of the Island. More than anything, this fails to acknowledge the hard work and copious amounts of labor that go into upholding the "Paradise" the Tourists experience. Additionally, like the entire advertisement, the tone of the "voice" and rhythm are welcoming and inviting. Therefore, these colonial stereotypes can get stuck in the audience's head and control the image of Jamaica. That is Imperialism, the power to narrate and control an image.
