The Memorandum of Understanding between Al Rais Travel and Agaxtur marks an important step in strengthening tourism and commercial ties between the United Arab Emirates and Brazil.
The relationship began at the LIDE Global Tourism Seminar in São Paulo, where business leaders from both markets had the opportunity to meet, exchange ideas and identify common interests.
This is precisely the role of LIDE Emirates: to create the right platforms for relevant business leaders to meet, build relationships and explore opportunities. What follows is up to the companies themselves. In this case, the relationship evolved into a concrete commercial partnership between Al Rais Travel and Agaxtur.
The initiative was supported by LIDE Emirates President Rodrigo Paiva, with the participation of Vinicius Lummertz, former Minister of Tourism of Brazil and Head of Tourism at LIDE Emirates.
As part of the broader institutional dialogue between Brazil and the United Arab Emirates, Agaxtur founder Aldo Leone and Patrícia Leone also paid a courtesy visit to the UAE Consulate General in São Paulo.
The companies now move forward within the private sector, with the objective of turning the partnership into tangible business: increasing tourism flows between Brazil and the UAE, developing new commercial opportunities and creating greater connectivity between the two markets.
For LIDE Emirates, this is the value of bringing the right people to the same table. The meeting creates the opportunity. The businesses create the outcome.
