Amazon fair attracts thousands
An Amazon trade fair attracted tens of thousands of visitors to the northern state of Amazonas, which could interest those considering Brazilian property, it has been reported.
The fourth annual Amazon International Trade Fair resulted in $10 million (£5 million) worth of contracts being generated following roundtable talks during the four day conference in Manaus, according to the Brazzil Mag.
Organisers say around 100,000 people attended the event and the seminars brought in a further 2,000 while 300 exhibitors from Manaus’s industrial hub showcased sustainable investment projects.
The fair is organised by the Manaus Free Zone Superintendence, who claim more than 1,000 overseas visitors from Portugal, Japan, the US and Canada were also in attendance.
In other news, it was reported by the Brazil Arab News Agency this week that the Futsal World Cup will kick off in Rio de Janeiro at the end of the month, which could bring thousands of extra visitors to the country who will need to stay in Brazilian property.
Nations taking part in the contest include Russia, Japan, Argentina, China and Italy.
