You will travel through the 37 thousand m² on a journey of an Abav that is even more inclusive, environmentally responsible and with a strong focus on governance. Welcome to the 50th Abav Expo – highlighted the president of Abav national, Magda Nassar.
Twenty-six networking bays will be offered to HotéisRio, in addition to rooms with differentiated acoustics for private sector meetings, bilingual receptionists (English/Spanish) and a support team ready to assist participants.
– Tourism in Rio de Janeiro is, without a shadow of a doubt, the biggest driver of economic development in the state of Rio. Social inequalities will only disappear through economic development, education and culture.
