CAMPO GRANDE AND CUIABÁ – Between March 17 and 19, Festuris and Connection took part in presentations during the event “Gramado, Made of Stories,” organized by the Gramado Tourism Department in a workshop format with business rounds aimed at connection and relationship-building.

On March 17 in Cuiabá (Mato Grosso) and March 19 in Campo Grande (Mato Grosso do Sul), the meetings brought together local travel agents and featured participation from Gramado tourism companies, which presented their products and services directly to the market, strengthening commercial relationships and expanding sales opportunities.

Débora Dilkin, Logistics and Travel Manager at Rossi & Zorzanello, and Carla Tissot, Commercial Executive of the Festuris Business & Innovation Space, participated in both events, presenting the potential of Festuris and Connection to industry professionals.

PATH OF MIRACLES PARK – On Friday, March 20, Festuris press officer Fernando Gusen and commercial executive Gabriela Tomazi visited the city of Encantado (RS) to attend the inauguration of the Path of Miracles Park. Created by Gramado-based entrepreneurs Vanderléia and Idacir Cardoso, the site recreates, in the midst of nature, a paved path with sculptures depicting six miracles of Jesus, such as the multiplication of loaves, the transformation of water into wine, and the resurrection of Lazarus, among others.

The space was designed to lead visitors on a journey of reflection and transformation, encouraging personal connections with the sacred and with their own life stories. Located next to the family’s inn, the setting is another tourist attraction in the city, which has seen a significant increase in visitors following the inauguration of the Christ Protector statue, considered the largest Christ statue in the world.
