Paraná is present at the 25th edition of the Boat Show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's largest nautical tourism event

Paraná is taking part in the 25th edition of the Boat Show, the largest nautical tourism event in Rio de Janeiro. Opening last Sunday (28), the fair promises to attract more than 33,000 visitors and generate around R$ 240 million in business, with approximately 200 boats expected to be sold.

The state is the only one in the southern region to have its own stand at the event, where it shares information about its 86 nautical tourism offers. The State Secretary for Tourism, Márcio Nunes, highlighted the importance of taking part in the Boat Show and promoting Paraná's potential, as well as attracting more people to the edition that will take place in Foz do Iguaçu in November.

The president of the Náutica Group, Ernani Paciornik, praised Paraná's commitment to the nautical market, highlighting the generation of jobs and the importance of the sector for the economy. Andressa Szekut, director of Promotion, Innovation and Tourism Intelligence at the Tourism Department, highlighted the intention to consolidate Paraná as a leading nautical destination.

As well as the boats, Paraná's stand also featured representatives from Expo Motorhome, promoting tourism on wheels. According to Alexandre Rodolfo Boff, the event's director, taking part in the Boat Show alongside the state is a business and publicity opportunity, attracting clients interested in the caravanning segment in Paraná.

With the theme of surrealism, Boat Show 2024 promises to highlight the extraordinary and imaginative nature of the nautical world, reinforcing the importance of Paraná as one of the great promoters of the sector. The fair continues until next Sunday at Marina da Glória, with various attractions and business opportunities for lovers of nautical tourism.
