Registration can be made up to August 31

Given the high demand, ABAV Nacional has decided to extend up to August 31 the period for free registration for travel agents not members of the entity that are interested in participating of the 42nd ABAV International Tourism Expo. Participants can register online on the event’s official website.

After August 31, the ticket for the five days of the event will cost R$60 and can be acquired on the event’s website or at the Anhembi Exhibition Pavillion.

“Travel agents are the most important participants of ABAV Expo, reason why we have decided to extend this deadline and give another opportunity to those who have not registered yet. Considering the number of agents that have already registered, we can say for sure that we will have more than 40,000 professional visitors this year,” said Antonio Azevedo, chairman of ABAV Nacional.

According to Azevedo, the event bets on the “great potential for networking and businesses, which has made the event be recognized internationally,” to increment the number of participants.

42nd ABAV Expo will be held from September 24 to 28 in São Paulo, and will be open for consumers on September 27 and 28 (Saturday and Sunday).
