Tourism: “BRASIL” Workshop in Melbourne

Around 250 travel agents and tourism industry professionals attended the "BRASIL" Workshop 2007, organized by the Consulate General of Brazil, which was held at the Novotel, Collins St, in Melbourne on 21st of November.
Eighteen companies (three airlines, fourteen tour operators and one açai distributor) joined this initiative contributing with 11 door-prizes including full packages to Brazil!
For one hour participants were able to learn about well known and less visited destinations, giving agents a chance to see what they could offer to a wide range of clients who want a fun and exciting holiday.
Combined with the taste of the famous Brazilian drink Caipirinha (pronounced ki-pee-ree-nya), Capoeira (Brazilian martial arts) and a performance of drums also made part of the night’s entertainment.
“This night was a very exciting one! I definitely learned about Brazil. What a diverse country”, was one of the many comments made by the people attending.
At the end there was one thing that everyone seemed to agree on – Brazil sure is a great place to visit.
The Consulate General of Brazil is very pleased with the outcome and hopes to organize another workshop in 2008.
