The coronavirus has brought several challenges to the tourism sector, so adapting to new normals has been necessary to reduce losses and make sense of the post-pandemic world. With the promotion of vaccination against covid-19 and a decrease in cases of infection with this disease, the scenario is positive for the sector.

Adventure tourism is becoming more and more popular all over the world. Brazil has many opportunities for adventure and travel at the same time.
