Parintins Festival: structure to receive 120 thousand tourists begins to be assembled

With less than 20 days left before the start of the dispute between the Caprichoso and Garantido oxen at Bumbódromo, the Government of the State of Amazonas began to set up the entire structure to receive the more than 120 thousand tourists expected in the city of Parintins.

The structure is being prepared by Amazonastur, a state tourism company. The actions range from a gastronomic square to serve tourists to a uniform program for tricycle riders (one of the island’s main means of transport).

“We are investing to strengthen the tourism and cultural sector in Amazonas and this year will be no different with the Parintins Festival. With national reach, we will have integrated work and an even greater structure to guarantee an unforgettable event”, said the president of Amazonastur Ian Ribeiro.
