SPTuris plans to resume tourism and events sector

Despite the difficulties imposed by the pandemic in the segments of tourism and events, the president of São Paulo Turismo (SPTuris), Luiz Alvaro Salles Aguiar de Menezes, believes that the sector must be prepared for the resumption of activities, with safe sanitary conditions.

Menezes, who has just completed 100 days in office, explains that the official events and tourism company in the city of São Paulo has been working on various measures and projects, with the aim of bringing more efficiency, transparency, streamlining processes and restructuring the administrative areas of the organization .

According to him, the aim is to further strengthen the company responsible for the production, organization and dissemination of events on the city’s official agenda and further strengthen partnerships with the private sector.

He highlights some actions taken in the first 100 days of management:

Concession of the Anhembi complex

On January 15th, the bidding process for the concession of the Anhembi complex was approved in the Official Gazette of the City of São Paulo, with the winning proposal of the French company GL Events. The concession will last for 30 years, a period in which investments of R $ 2 billion are expected and savings of R $ 600 million, totaling a total of R $ 2.6 billion in benefits for São Paulo. With this, the spaces will be expanded and modernized, with the strengthening of the city of São Paulo and Anhembi in the segment of international fairs and conventions.

Celebration of 30 years of the Anhembi Sambadrome

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Polo Cultural Grande Otelo, popularly known as Sambódromo, on February 1, SPTuris programmed several actions, such as free guided tour, exhibition of vintage cars, as well as presentations at Espaço Cultural Carnaval in partnership with the Liga SP. On the occasion, there was also the presentation of the Court of Carnival 2020.
