28/04/2016
Unveiled in collaboration with the Consulate-General of Brazil in Sydney, the initiaive focuses on highlighting tourist destinations beyond Rio de Janeiro, where the 2016 Summer Olympics and Paralympics Games will be held. The aim is to attract more Australian visitors and to encourage a longer stay in Brazil to fully enjoy what the country has to offer.
“We are keen to share all the information needed for those who are planning their trip to Brazil and also to help agents sell not just the obvious cities and regions, but also the stunning, lesser-known destinations,” said Ambassador Carlos de Abreu, Consul General in Sydney.
This first trade event was held in Darling Harbour last week and apart from meeting different Brazilian travel representatives, guests also enjoyed traditional music, food and national drinks.
The Consulate General has announced a provisional tourist visa waiver for Australian citizens for visits to Brazil occurring from June 1 to September 18. These visits must be for the sole purposes of attending the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and tourism. The provisional visa waiver only applies during these dates and for a stay of up to 90 days.
According to official statistics, more than 53,000 tickets have already been purchased in Australia to attend the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
