Incentive Travel in Brasilien
Brazil is not only the largest country in South America, it is also home to a wide variety of landscapes, cultures, and natural wonders and means it could be a meaningful and memorable trip that can be offered as a corporate incentive or bonus.
We can help curate a bespoke incentive or bonus that draws on the broad and rich range of experiences Brazil has to offer: bustling cultural cities like Rio and Salvador; charming colonial towns such as Paraty and Ouro Preto; calm secluded beach islands; safari experiences in the Pantanal; the awesome cascades of the Iguazu Waterfall system; and, of course, the superlative biodiversity of the Amazon.
Brazil’s excellent international air links, combined with its timezone proximity to both the US and Europe means that incentive and bonus trips can be designed to easily fit into otherwise busy corporate schedules.
Conferences and Trade Fairs
São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are the conference capitals of Brazil but conferences also happen regularly in Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Fortaleza, Salvador, and Porto Alegre. In all of these locations, we provide travel management services that integrate and support any given conference activity your company may have in Brazil, including transfers, sourcing of accommodation, cultural events and sightseeing.
Here is a selection of Brazil trips we have put together as ideal corporate bonus packages:
