The countdown has begun. This Tuesday (4) marks exactly 100 days until the 38th Festuris – Gramado International Tourism Fair, taking place from November 12 to 15. Recognized as the most effective tourism business trade show in the Americas, Festuris heads into its 2026 edition with the expectation of delivering its largest event ever, expanding exhibition areas, strengthening connections, and introducing new opportunities for exhibitors, buyers, and visitors.

With the theme "Real Relationships That Build the Future," Festuris reinforces the importance of human connections in a constantly evolving industry. More than a platform for business, the event provides an environment for strategic meetings, knowledge sharing, and the creation of opportunities that drive the development of tourism.

The organizing team is in the final stages of preparation to deliver an even more comprehensive edition. The expanded exhibition space will accommodate new destinations, brands, and experiences, reflecting the event's consistent growth in recent years and the increasing demand from the tourism industry.

According to Eduardo Zorzanello, CEO of Festuris, the 100-day countdown marks a period of great anticipation and intense commitment from the entire team.

"Reaching the 100-day countdown makes us even more motivated. We are preparing an edition filled with new features, expanded exhibition areas, fresh content, and even more business opportunities. This year's theme, 'Real Relationships That Build the Future,' perfectly reflects what we believe: genuine connections between people, companies, and destinations are what drive innovation and strengthen tourism. Our goal is to surpass the outstanding results of the previous edition and deliver an even more valuable experience for the entire industry."

The previous edition brought together 64 international destinations, more than 2,500 exhibiting brands, and generated BRL 552 million in business, reinforcing Festuris' position as a leading international tourism marketplace. This year, expectations are even higher, with increased participation from exhibitors, buyers, and tourism professionals, while further expanding business generation and high-quality content.

In the lead-up to November, the organization will continue announcing program updates, new exhibitors, confirmed destinations, and special attractions that will make up the 38th edition of Festuris. The expectation is that Gramado will once again become the leading meeting point for the tourism industry in the Americas, bringing together the sector's key players for four days of networking, innovation, and business opportunities.
