FIFTH ANNUAL TOURISM SEMINAR IN RIO DE JANEIRO

This was an annual  meeting that took place in the  month of March in a large space in Sao Paulo where several travel agencies met to promote the natural attractions and places of tourist interest in their states and several states have participated in São Paulo

I was there visitng the booth of Bahia  where Brazil began. It was here that Portuguese explorers in 1549 founded a settlement on the peninsula in Todos os Santos Bay, discovered by Amerigo Vespucci in 1501. It was there  that slaves from Africa disembarked and brought their culture to the new world. It was there where  the Portuguese, African and indigenous cultures met, melded and produced the vibrant music, food, customs and religion typical of Bahia.

I was there visiting the indigenous tribe of Porto Seguro in Bahia  the Natural  Reserve in  Jaqueira is  the most interesting region, the symbiosis between culture and nature , the region  maintained and preserved by the Indians of the tribe Pataxó, keeps intact the richness of the Atlantic and remains today under several Indigenas , that there have their small thatched houses and adobe.

The tribe Pataxó is one of the most important colonies of Indians of Brazil, having maintained its purity and tradition until the present day. The reserve is now a form of subsistence and dissemination of culture Pataxó.

part of the ethnic Indians in the village are Pataxo Indigenous Land of Red Crown, Cabrália Santa Cruz, Bahia located  in  Northeast of  Brazil these indigenous  Pataxó in Jaqueira which lies on the border of the municipalities of Porto Seguro and Santa Cruz Cabrália. They work with  craft, the bow, arrow, customs, traditions, dances, indigenous paintings, indigenous games.

I feel honored to live in a country that has its origins in history in  the year of 1500 where everything started  in the state of Bahia that has  its culture and welcome the first people to inhabit our great country !

 

OLYMPIC GAMES 2016 RIO DE JANEIRO

What projects will remain as a leSpirit, sport and a powerful legacy

We will unite Rio's unique spirit with the power of sport to stage an exceptional event, full of Brazilian passion. Rio 2016 will provide memories of a lifetime for every athlete and all other members of the Games Family. And the Games will leave a powerful legacy by meeting the long-term needs of the city and its residents. Every aspect of the Rio Games concept has been designed to align with the strategy for the future of the city and country.gacy for Rio de Janeiro, irrespective of the bid result?







A good example of a legacy not just for Rio, but also for Brazil and Latin American, is the construction of the Olympic Training Center (COT in Portuguese), a key project that will mark a new era of training, preparation and development of our athletes and will also offer qualification programs to coaches and other sport professionals. The Center will make available top competition venues, a full training, service and support infrastructure that will increase our international competitiveness. The periods of stay will vary according to the sport discipline and targeted objectives. On average, about 1,000 athletes will benefit every day from the high performance training programs.



The following sports will be covered initially: aquatic sports (diving, swimming, synchronized swimming and water polo), archery, athletics (indoor and outdoor), badminton, basketball, boxing, cycling (track), fencing, gymnastics (rhythmic, artistic and trampoline), handball, futsal, judo, taekwondo, tennis, table tennis, volleyball, weightlifting and wrestling. Sport medicine and sport science resources will be made available to athletes concomitantly to their training with the purpose of helping them to find out more about their physical aptitudes and improve performance based on analyses and researches, whose results will directly enhance their performance. Targeting an integral training, the Center will also set up an Educational Unit offering several programs that will enable athletes to develop other skills.



Two venues built especially for the Pan American Games 2007 – Maria Lenk Aquatic Park and the Velodrome – will become part of the Olympic Training Center to be built over a 90-hectare area.
