What would you if you were the owner of this (non-adult related) site?

Blondelover I've been playing with a travel related site (tijuana-tonight) here's what I've learned on my site. The travel related affiliate program banners aren't getting any traffic.
I'm advertising for a Mexican Insurance Comapany that banner is getting good click throughs as are the banner's I have up for MexiCoach and Tijuana Bullfights. The rest of the banners I have up are just taking up space.
I have an Adult section that's making a few bucks ($3.75 to get in free for Servicemen)
The Adult banners I have in my Adult section are doing well and making me more money than everything else on the site.
I've tried flooding the Tourist Section of Tijuana with Business cards, that helped a little, but was followed up with my main competition putting up a banner on every lamp post in the Tourist Section.
Tried a photo contest that's been a miserable failure

I think a travel site will do well if you are willing to spend time knocking on doors and selling local advertising

Thanks to all who replied.
TP, have you tried Adsense? It´s a few cents a click, but it adds up. Of course, don´t place the ads on your adult section.
Yeah, I will knock on doors for sure, I just want to know Which doors to knock.

And you can call me also latinalover.

Thanks again.
