Developed with the support of <a href=\"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/members\/embratur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Embratur<\/strong><\/a>, this pass allows international travelers to combine several domestic flights at a single fixed fare. The idea is simple: to remove a very tangible obstacle to discovering the country. In <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/p\/brazil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Brazil<\/mark><\/a><\/strong>, distances are often more discouraging than the price of an intercontinental ticket. By facilitating domestic connections, the Airpass paves the way for clearer itineraries, designed over longer stays and less concentrated on a single gateway.    <\/p>\n\n<p>This relaunch goes hand in hand with a clearly defined territorial choice. At FITUR, Brazil places the Northeast at the heart of its participation. A region already known to European audiences, but still unevenly integrated into international circuits. By working simultaneously on air connectivity and the visibility of these destinations, the authorities aim to broaden the range of itineraries offered, without reproducing the patterns of concentration observed elsewhere.   <\/p>\n\n<p>The context clearly favors this strategy. In 2025, the country welcomed <strong>9.3 million international tourists<\/strong>, an increase of <strong>37.1% <\/strong>compared to the previous year. Nearly one in five visitors came from Europe. For <strong>Marcelo Freixo<\/strong>, <strong>president of Embratur<\/strong>, this growth is the result of long-term efforts combining international promotion and the gradual improvement of the tourism offer. The challenge, in his view, is no longer just to attract more visitors, but to better connect regions that remain difficult to access from abroad.    <\/p>\n\n<p>This orientation is also reflected in the design of the stand at the Madrid trade fair. Spread over 315 square meters, it features immersive content showcasing the Amazon and the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/the-northeast-via-the-route-of-emotions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Len\u00e7\u00f3is Maranhenses<\/a><\/strong>, complemented by cultural and gastronomic activities. The aim is less to impress than to provide concrete reference points for both professionals and the general public, highlighting clearly identifiable territories and well-defined experiences.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C-NKyHQo3PF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
