Along with the launch of the Halal Tourism Guide about a year and a half ago, the São Paulo State Department of Tourism and Travel has been promoting training to ensure that residents of São Paulo are ready to welcome tourists from this religion.

The director-general of Royal Air Maroc in Brazil, Othman Baba, said the airline plans to increase the number of São Paulo-Casablanca flights from the current three to five or six times per week and intends to launch flights to Rio de Janeiro as well. He was received at the Arab-Brazilian Chamber.

The city presented last week the “Muslim-Friendly Foz do Iguaçu – Halal Tourism Guide,” with information about restaurants and hotels fit to welcome Muslim tourists to the city. The Arab-Brazilian Chamber and CDIAL Halal are partners in Foz’s efforts to become a halal destination.

The Moroccan ambassador to Brazil, Nabil Adghoghi, expects that the resumption of the Royal Air Maroc route on December 7 will increase travel by Brazilian tourists to Morocco and vice versa. The foreign ministers of both countries have recently outlined the next steps in the bilateral partnership.
