Baptiste noted that the DVD is interactive and has Internet links when played on a computer and was shown at the International Tourism Trade Show, which was held in Canada April 19 and would be updated by the company regularly. She said the package, which is done in four languages, French, German, Spanish and English and can be mailed to various persons. Westminster Communications had received 46 awards for their productions, which include projects for automobile company Ford and fast food outlet Mc Donald’s. Some 60-thousand DVDs have been produced for distribution.
