Brazil Sensations in TourMaG: four international awards and a first-of-its-kind incentive in 2026
2026/11/10
The French travel trade portal looks back on a year of recognition for the Rio DMC and an incentive trip with 11 catamarans along the Costa Verde.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil — TourMaG, one of France’s leading travel trade media, has published an article in its DestiMaG section on Brazil Sensations’ 2026: four international awards across three ceremonies, and an incentive operation unlike anything the team had run before.
Four titles in a single year
The article lists the awards the company received in 2026:
- World Luxury Travel Awards: Best Destination Management Company – Latin America and Best MICE Operator – Brazil
- World MICE Awards: Best MICE Organiser, following on from the title won in 2024
- World Travel Awards, often called the “Oscars of tourism”: Brazil’s Leading Destination Management Company
For Chloé Hathaway, co-founder of Brazil Sensations, receiving four awards in the same year is “an immense source of pride for the whole team” and a reflection of the trust placed in the company by its partner agencies and tour operators.
Three days at sea, 11 catamarans
TourMaG also goes behind the scenes of a first-of-its-kind incentive: more than 45 participants spent three days and two nights aboard 11 catamarans sailing together along the Costa Verde, between Angra dos Reis, Ilha Grande and Paraty. Nights at anchor in the bays of Ilha Grande, a chef on every boat, stops at beaches reachable only by sea and a final arrival in Paraty’s historic centre: the article describes how it all came together, from crews to safety at sea.
An authentic, responsible Brazil
The article also recalls the B Corp certification obtained in June 2026, the company’s membership of the UN Global Compact and its commitment to offsetting the carbon emissions of its operations, all in the service of showing partners an authentic, demanding and responsible Brazil.
