São Paulo – The Arab culture nucleus at the Syrian Sports Club should bring, on Saturday, the director responsible for the Tourism Committee at the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, Adel Auada, to promote talk "Tourism between Brazil and the Arab nations", to cover tourism, its history and numbers. The event, open to the public, will take place at 4:00 pm.
Auada should speak about his professional experience in the area of tourism over the last 35 years, about the current situation of tourism in Brazil and about Brazilian tourism figures to the Arab nations. “Over the last 10 years there has been a significant change in the profile of Brazilians travelling to the Arab nations," said the director. According to him, Brazilian tourism to the Arab world is no longer ethnical. In the past, tourism was mainly by Arab immigrants, mostly descendants of Syrians and Lebanese who travelled to visit their relatives.
Due to greater trade with the Arab countries, the emphasis of the government in promotion of Brazil in the Arab world and the continued work developed by the Arab Brazilian Chamber to increase trade relations, Auada says that tourism between both regions has been on the rise. "All of this makes the interest of Brazilians (in the Arab world) grow," said the director.
Another factor that Auada should cover is the inauguration of direct flights between São Paulo and cities in the Middle East, promoted by Emirates, Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines. According to the director, the ease in flying to the Middle East currently also contributes to the growth of tourism between both regions.
Being responsible for the Arab Brazilian Chamber’s Tourism Committee, Auada should speak about the work developed by the organisation to promote the Arab countries among the associates of the Brazilian Travel Agency Association (Abav), an organisation he has already presided, and the Brazilian Association of Tourism Operators (Braztoa).
