Portugal has been drawn in the World Cup's Group G with Germany, United States and Ghana. The matches will take place in three different cities of Brazil: Salvador, in the northeastern region, Brasília - capital of Brazil, in central west, and Manaus, in the northern region. 

The proximity of Viracopos airport has interfered positively in the choice of the Portuguese squad as the hotel will be only 6,5 miles away. Campinas has also one of the best meteorological conditions for take-offs and landings in Brazil.

Since 2012 Campinas Viracopos international airport has been completely modernized and widely expanded after a process of privatization - the first one in this sector in the country, awarded by BAC – Brazil Airport Consortium. Their daring plans include to attract more airlines to operate in the airport as well as to expand their routes initially to Latin America and further to North America, Europe and Asia.

Nowadays the airport is the hub of the domestic low-cost Azul Airlines, commanded by Brazilian born David Neeleman, co-founder of JetBlue.

Why São Paulo?

SPin Brazil Tours really believes business and tourism are inter-related.

We encourage travelers and business professionals to explore the attractions of the destination they are traveling to, be it by attending a presentation, participating in a conference or trade fair, an important business meeting or even if they are returning to manage investments in the country.

By exploring the context of the city that you visit, you can expand your horizons beyond the culture, lifestyle, local habits and customs of its inhabitants.

It is a unique opportunity to discover the profile of its local consumers, competitors, the market itself and consequently, it can generate new insights and sharpen perceptions. The geographical, economic and historical-cultural understanding that you acquire will pay dividends when you interact and do business successfully in a country with a culture different from your own.
