San Salvador is not a country - it’s a city. The capital of El Salvador.

For the record, I was thinking about San Salvador Island which is also not a country, but during the time of the Salvadoran civil war, tourism at San Salvador Island suffered because apparently people confused it with El Salvador (all of this based on a vague memory of an NPR story I heard roughly 30 years ago).

Interesting. It’s true that there are several places named San Salvador which are not in El Salvador: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Salvador_(disambiguation...

That's interesting! I hadn't heard about that one.

There have been cases in which people book their air tickets to the wrong airport, and end up in San Salvador, El Salvador instead of Salvador, Bahia, Brasil.

Adding to the confusion, there are places named El Salvador which are not El Salvador. The largest one is Villa El Salvador in Perú.
