Manaus (AM) — The Bahamian-flagged Silver Nova cruise arrived in the Amazonian capital this Monday morning (26).

According to Amazonastur’s Marketing Director, Ana Cláudia Rego, the interest of foreign tourists in visiting the largest state in the North of the country is the result of the intense work of the state body.

It is also worth highlighting that these tourists are coming to the city in search of experiences and this is very important, because there is an impact on the economy, where there is a turnover of revenue for the State”,
