São Paulo – A group of 31 Brazilian businessmen is heading to Dubai next Thursday (19th). The trip is part of the mission to the Big 5 Show, for the building industry, organized by tourism company Baumann Travel. Specializing in business missions, the agency seeks to combine leisure and business and is taking a Brazilian group to the United Arab Emirates for the first time.
According to the general manager of Baumann, Stela Winters Steil, the company’s focus was on travels to China, where the agency already has an office. “We have already had 24 missions to China. Now, we are looking at other markets,” she claimed. The first stop in the trip to Dubai will be in India, which is part of the BRICs and, according to Stela, is also a growing market that the company is eyeing.
Baumann’s choice to participate in the Big 5 Show was due to its size and importance. “It is one of the largest in the world for the building industry,” said Stela, who already has plans of taking Brazilian missions to new events in Dubai in 2010. The company is already preparing to take part in fairs in the medical, dental and nautical sectors.
According to the general manager, the company offers a differentiated package to Dubai, not only with business-related attractions, but also for travellers to get to know better the beauties of the emirate. The package to the Big 5 Show includes a stay at a five-star hotel, bus transportation to the fair each day, an interpreter (Portuguese/English) available, a tour of the emirate, a visit to the capital Abu Dhabi, typical dinner in the desert, and time for tours and shopping.
The Big 5 Show will be held from November 23rd to 26th. The package offered by Baumann Travel includes four days in India and five days in the United Arab Emirates, returning to São Paulo on the 26th.
Since 2004
Established in 2004, Baumann Travel was born as an arm of Baumann Consultancy, to provide support to customers who travel often to foreign fairs, especially China. "With Baumann Consultancy in the group, the logistics of organizing the visits and missions becomes much easier," said Stela. According to her, the company also offers custom-made travel packages and helps schedule technical visits to factories and companies.
Baumann Travel works in partnership with various sector organizations, such as the National Confederation of Directing Shopkeepers (CNDL), the São Paulo Trade Association, the Santa Catarina state branch of the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (Sebrae-SC), among others.
