The expectation is that sectors linked to tourism, such as accommodation, gastronomy, commerce and tourist tours, will benefit from international projection. The highlight also draws attention to the importance of environmental conservation. The preservation of beaches and local ecosystems is highlighted as one of the factors that contribute to the recognition of the destination. According to the municipal secretary of Tourism, Junior Chuchu, the municipality has invested in actions aimed at strengthening the sector throughout the year. “This international recognition shows that we are consolidating Arraial do Cabo as an increasingly competitive destination, prepared to receive visitors throughout the year”, stated the secretary. According to the municipal administration, investments were also made in tourism promotion, qualification of the production chain, expansion of the calendar of events and planning actions and enhancement of natural heritage. To ensure the preservation of natural areas, the municipality maintains rules for visitors. Among the measures are the prohibition of leaving garbage on the beach, damaging the restinga vegetation, barbecuing, using speakers and carrying glass containers. Furthermore, access to certain areas has environmental control measures, including restrictions on the circulation of private vehicles and encouraging the use of authorized transport and taxi boats.
