As suggested by BBC, the advertisement program would cost USD 204,000, with an eight-week broadcast schedule in the Asia-Pacific Region and a six-week broadcast schedule in the North African and European Regions, totaling 240 time slots on the channel.

Moreover, CNN has also suggested another advertisement contract with Vietnam, after the run of the clip “Vietnam – the Hidden Charm” ended.
