VisitDenmark is a Danish tourist organization for "promotion and development of Danish tourism".[1]

In September 2009 they were behind a viral video on YouTube[2] where "Karen" was a "Danish mother seeking" the father of her child after a one night stand. The video gained over 700,000 views in just a few days before media identified VisitDenmark as the source.[3] The video sparked heated debate for allegedly showing Danish women as drunken and promiscuous.[4]
