Brazil Sensations Founders Featured Internationally in Beyond Exclamation

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil — Brazil Sensations, a DMC (Destination Management Company) based in Rio de Janeiro and specializing in incentive travel, corporate events (MICE) and sustainable luxury tourism, was featured in a profile by international magazine Beyond Exclamation, as part of the series “The Most Influential Business Leaders to Watch in 2025”.

The feature traces the journey of Chloe Hathaway and Brice de la Serviere, co-founders of the company, from its founding in 2014 to its position today as one of Brazil’s leading DMCs in the MICE and corporate travel segment.

From founding to the international MICE market

According to the feature, the two founders bring complementary strengths: Brice’s background in business administration and finance shapes Brazil Sensations’ governance structure, while Chloe’s cultural sensitivity guides how the brand translates Brazil into authentic travel experiences. This combination underpinned key milestones in the company’s history, including a strategic entry into the MICE market in 2015, a 2016 Famtrip introducing the Rio de Janeiro to international tour operators, and logistical support for Benin’s delegation during that year’s Olympic Games.

By 2017, Brazil Sensations had become an official Brazilian DMC partner for one of France’s leading travel agency networks — a significant step in the company’s expansion into European inbound tourism.

Sustainability as a response to the pandemic

The feature also highlights the company’s response to the pandemic, during which Brazil Sensations developed the “Agroforestree Events Carbon Free” program — a carbon offset initiative based on agroforestry systems, developed in partnership with Agroforestree and validated by UFSCar. The project became a semifinalist for the Braztoa Sustainability Awards 2025, reinforcing the company’s positioning in sustainable tourism and environmental responsibility within the corporate events sector.

“Our role is to be ambassadors of the Brazilian soul to the world,” the founders said in the interview.

Consolidated recognition in the corporate travel sector

The feature reflects a growing wave of international recognition for Brazil Sensations, which now holds titles such as Best MICE Event Organizer in Brazil and South America at the World MICE Awards (2024 and 2025), and is the first Brazilian DMC to offset 100% of its operational CO₂ emissions through certified agroforestry carbon projects.
