The sophistication of the incentive travel programmes and the increasing demand for different itineraries over recent years has given rise to multi-centre holidays that include more than one destination during the same trip. Brazil can also offer numerous options for programmes of this kind. Here are some of the most attractive possibilities:
Manaus – Rio de Janeiro: with two nights and three days in Manaus, including a full-day cruise on the Rivers Negro and Amazon (at their confluence), a city tour with a cocktail party held in the Teatro Amazonas, a theme party on the banks of the River Negro with a folklore show and a visit into the Amazon forest and an opportunity to help in reforestation – each guest in the group plants a tree seedling and receives a Polaroid photo and a certificate. The next four or five days can be spent in Rio with all that the city can offer for groups of this kind.
Manaus – Brasília – Rio de Janeiro: including the same activities as above but with one day in Brasília in order to discover the appeal of the city that still serves as a model for urban planning in many countries.
Buenos Aires – Foz do Iguaçu – Rio de Janeiro: a wide combination for programmes that need to offer more than one country on their itinerary. For this combination, the ideal is to spend three days (two nights) in Buenos Aires, one night and one day in Foz do Iguaçu and three or four days in Rio where there is an enormous choice of excursions, special activities, theme parties and shows.
Manaus – Brasília – Salvador: this is another combination offering a rich mixture of environment, natural beauty, local culture, cuisine, activities, excursions and theme parties.
To summarize, Brazil is a country that can offer numerous destinations for incentive travel programmes. The choice of combinations is almost infinite and grows each year as more and more cities can offer suitable infrastructures and air travel connections with the rest of the world, and as national and foreign investment multiplies the accommodation available to a standard comparable to that of the most highly developed countries. Without any doubt at all, Brazil is one of the richest and most versatile countries in terms of programme options available for incentive travel.
