S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Emirates airlines want to fly to new regions of Brazil again soon. So said the managing director of the UAE company in Brazil, Stephane Perard (pictured above<\/em>). \u201cRight now, we are focusing more on S\u00e3o Paulo, but we will soon focus on other regions again. Brazil is huge, and there are many opportunities,\u201d said the executive on Monday (19), during the Americas, Asia, and Oceania International Conference. The event<\/a> is supported by the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong> (ABCC) and runs till Friday (23).<\/p>\n

For Perard, S\u00e3o Paulo and Brazil as a whole are very strategic markets. \u201cPartnerships are one of the essential pillars for the company in Brazil. In 2006 we partnered with Gol,\u201d he illustrated, regarding what could be one of the paths to be followed to move forward in the national market.<\/p>\n

The executive highlighted the Brazilian demand for Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, even during the pandemic. \u201cWhen the UK started the vaccination campaign, I think it gave everyone an uplift. And we saw the Brazilian market respond quickly, during the holidays at the end of the year,\u201d he detailed about the upturn the company saw taking place at the end of 2020.<\/p>\n

The executive stated the company already has a very aggressive plan to strengthen its platform through S\u00e3o Paulo since before the pandemic. The plans were postponed, but the interest of Brazilians for the Middle East and the start of Expo 2020 may give new impetus to the movement.<\/p>\n

The president of the ABCC, Osmar Chohfi, also participated in the session and was optimistic about the scenario for the near future. \u201cThe progress in vaccination should increase exports from Brazil to the Arabs and from them to Brazil,\u201d he stated on the prospect that the trade balance would benefit from the Arabs\u2019 demand for food and Brazil\u2019s need for fuels such as oil.<\/p>\n

To keep this market buoyant, the commercial director at H2R Advanced Research, Alessandra Frisso, highlighted trends in consumption by the Arabs during the conference. For her, the increasing modernization in the bloc should give prominence to women and young adults. \u201cThe role of women in Arab communities is powerful, and young people got involved, went beyond borders, and have access to all social media,\u201d she pointed out, noting that the choices of these two groups will be reflected in products with traceability and sustainability.<\/p>\n

In the session on culture, Silvia Antibas, cultural director of the ABCC, spoke on the legacy the Arab community produces in Brazil. The director recalled there is Arab participation, even in recognized Brazilian rhythms such as samba. \u201cIt is true that [the influence was] through the Malian enslaved Africans, who were Muslims. They were educated, literate, and lived in Bahia. After the Mal\u00ea revolt, many fled and took refuge in the hills of Rio de Janeiro,\u201d she explained. According to her, it is possible to find elements such as percussion instruments of Arab origin in Rio\u2019s samba.<\/p>\n
