Bachelor Tourism?

ABC's hit reality TV show "The Bachelor" is now on it's 15th dramatic season. Being an avid watcher of  all 15 of these seasons, the show becomes someone predictable. Viewers  know the girls that will most likely stay and what ones will most likely go. This of course being the result of  the strategic editing of who the camera pays more attention to throughout an episode. Also, if viewers are desperate enough to know how the season ends,they are only one quick google search away from their answer.

As the season is narrowed down to less girls, the destinations they travel to become more exotic and more elaborate.  Two weeks ago the girls were taken to the fabulous Las Vegas, last week they had jungle fever in the luscious Costa Rica, and this week they will be soaking up the sun in Anguilla.

While the girls were in Las Vegas, they resided in the new Aria Resort & Casino, located right in the middle of the Las Vegas strip. Their trip was complete with one lucky girl landing a shopping spree at City Center, along with a romantic rooftop dinner at Crystal with fireworks in the background. The trip also included a showing of Viva Elvis by Cirque Du Soleil, which happens to be the current show being performed at Aria.  Bachelor Brad and the girls make their Vegas experience complete when venturing to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in order to test drive some race cars for fun. When the episode is over, if viewers were considering going to Las Vegas in the near future for a romantic getaway, they would need no more convincing.  Also, since viewers have seen all the great amenities for Aria Resort & Casino, why would they consider staying anywhere else? With Las Vegas recently having to lower hotel costs, just to get tourists out there, this episode couldn't have been aired at a more appropriate time.

Jungle fever in Costa Rica took place at The Springs Resort and Spa in Arenal, Costa Rica. Although this resort is not on the ocean, the views of the Arenal Volcano were breath taking. While Brad and the girls vacationed they took part in some Costa Rica zip lining, along with some more adventurous repelling down a natural waterfall. There also was an excursion into a 40 million year old bat cave. I think I'll pass on that one.  The episode did a great job of highlighting all of Costa Rica's great tourism hot spots, and if viewers were unaware of what Costa Rica had to offer them, they were fully informed by the end of the episodes 2 hours. Not only that but it looks like The Springs Resort and Spa did some revamping of their website once ABC was done filming. Who knows maybe their occupancy rates will increase in the next couple of months.

This weeks romantic trip to Anguilla looks nothing sort of amazing. The previews show some boat riding along with some cliff jumping into crystal clear water. It also will be interesting to see the resort they choose to reside in. Will it be one who needs the extra advertising, or one that is luxurious enough that they don't need ABC's help?

With  6 girls remaining this means there is 6 more weeks of lucky locations to be visited.  Which is plenty of  time for tourism locations to get their 2 hour ABC advertising in for the year. But, who will be the lucky locations?
