Afrotourism in BH: In Belo Horizonte, there is a vibrant Afro-Brazilian cultural scene. Considering this aspect, we created online material seeking to publicize the existing tourism potential regarding the community's history, traditions, and struggles. Furthermore, we also seek to reaffirm the city's black cultural identity to make it the protagonist of diverse tourism experiences in the capital of Minas Gerais.

A Bela Oyá Pantanal: The first receptive Afrotourism agency in Mato Grosso do Sul state, operating in Corumbá, the Pantanal capital. Founded in 2020 by Thayná Cambará, the initiative was born from the desire to value and rescue the Afro-Brazilian culture present in the region. The mission is to decolonize tourism, promoting black narratives and connecting visitors to quilombola communities, Afro-Brazilian religious grounds (terreiros), cultural manifestations, and rich Pantanal biodiversity.

With immersive circuits and itineraries, we offer experiences such as:

• Corumbá Negra Circuit – Encounters with Afro-Brazilian culture through conversation circles, literature, and visits to quilombola communities.
• Corumbá by Oyá Circuit – Route focused on Afro-Brazilian religiosity in Corumbá, a city hosting over 300 terreiros.
• Drums in the Corumbá Pantanal – Experience of Afro-Pantanal musicality, faith, and gastronomy. Experience Itineraries - 3/5 days.

Afrotourism SP: The São Paulo State Secretariat of Tourism and Travel created a Working Group (GT) to develop and strengthen the Afrotourism segment in the State. Subsequently, we launched the Afrotourism SP publication containing 10 itineraries covering diverse regions, offering visitors an immersive experience in Afro-Brazilian history, culture, and traditions. After the launch, training was held for travel agents, operators, and public managers, gathering iconic professionals and references in Brazilian Afrotourism.

The second stage involves updating the 2nd edition of the Afrotourism SP Guide, four workshops in the interior and capital, plus mapping Houses, Temples, and Cultural Centers of Afro and Indigenous religions for the future Guide to Afro and Indigenous Religious Tourism.

Maturity Guide: The São Paulo State Secretariat of Tourism and Travel developed the Maturity Guide, cataloging 70 cities in the state suitable for receiving senior tourists. All destinations were visited and evaluated, ensuring a high-quality travel experience for the 60+ audience. Following this work, we identified the need for training; therefore, we created itinerant workshops throughout São Paulo State to train travel agents and tourism professionals wishing to understand the senior tourist profile or seek segment updates. So far, seven "Roads" have been held. Five more are forecast.
