The session also counted with the presence of the Chairman of Oasis International, a Portugal-based international investor and operator with strong foothold in Boa Vista.    During the last 12 months, the IFC - International Finance Corporation has been providing technical assistance to the SDTIBM with the support of THR. This assistance covered many different areas linked with Tourism investment Promotion: Investment Strategy for the SDTIBM in line with international best practices and towards facilitating sustainable and socially inclusive-driven investments; development zones plan; investment promotion plan; brand testing tourism marketing plan for the Island. A know how transfer program was also delivered throughout the technical assistance dedicated to the SDTIBM team.   The session delivered in the Investment Forum was a good expression of the effort of the SDITBM to attract new investors, highly focused on sustainable tourism development and operations. #Investment #LusophoneAfrica #PALOP #IFC #EconomicGrowth

🎄Overcheering christmas spirit: A surge in visitors invades Santa Claus Land With the growing trend of travelers seeking cooler destinations to experience snow, the Northern Lights, and the magic of Santa, #Rovaniemi has become a major draw. However, not everyone is happy about the flood of visitors—10 times the town’s population—each year at Christmas time. Local critics point out that many city-center apartments are now short-term rentals for tourists, driving up prices, displacing long-term residents, and turning the heart of Rovaniemi into a transient space. This surge in tourism has led to new flight routes and more visitors, putting pressure on local resources and infrastructure. 💡As demand for these "cool" destinations rises, it's vital to balance excitement with #sustainability. At THR, we help businesses thrive while ensuring a positive impact on both residents and visitors. https://lnkd.in/dFYUZNZW Visit Rovaniemi #visitrovaniemi #rovaniemi #santaclaus #SustainableTourism #Overtourism #TourismStrategy #FutureOfTravel #CommunityImpact

Yesterday, our team took a well-deserved break to focus on what truly matters: coming together as a team. We kicked off the day with some with some fast-paced karting action, followed by high-energy laser tag. After all that excitement, we shared a delicious lunch, filled with laughter and good conversations. Team-building events like these are so much more than just fun—they are an opportunity to connect, communicate, and build trust outside of the usual work environment. These moments help us grow stronger as a team, ready to face the challenges ahead. As we reflect on this year, we're excited and fully geared up for the ride ahead in 2025. We’re more united than ever and ready to tackle what’s next with energy, collaboration, and determination! Thank you to the THR team for making this day memorable! 🚀 ✨ #TeamBuilding #StrongerTogether #ChristmasOuting #Collaboration #ReadyFor2025
