Winter sports are becoming increasingly popular among Brazilians, as the statistics show: in the winter season 2016/2017, the Federal Statistical Office counted 109,589 overnight hotel stays by Brazilians. In 2017/2018, this figure rose by 11.6% (to 122,296 ON).

The feedback from participants was also positive: “The event in Rio de Janeiro was great and one of the best-organised I’ve attended in the past 15 years. We’re now even more #inLOVEwithSWITZERLAND,” said Ana Cucci, Manager of the Virtuoso network, expressing her thanks.
