Love to receive some unsolicited orientalist travel gubbins during a global pandemic. 
Seriously the imagery in this is just straight up racist. Exotic women from the ‘east’, elephants denoting whole continents, bare chested Polynesian men, Māori with tā moko doing haka... while everyone in the walking and cycling section are white.
But don’t worry @beste_isleyen there is a camel! Have to have a camel to denote ‘the Muslim world’. And well done to the person who chose a photograph of Sossusvlei in the Namib as the camel’s backdrop in what I assume is supposed to be ‘Arabia’, you’re only about 10,000kms out.
It’s a little known fact* that Edward Said’s Orientalism is not available in the Netherlands, in fact any copies just dematerialise once they enter Dutch space.
*It is available, it has been available since its publication in, what was it now... 1978.

Like the Covid vaccine, many things are slow in the Netherlands.
