Among the topics discussed, it was clear the need for dialogue between those involved, so that decision-making is collegial and able to embrace the possibilities that the Public Power can offer to solve the needs of the private sector.

Topics such as the late opening of the public notice released for the 2023 Carnival, the safety of revelers during free blocks and bands, ordering traffic during events, reducing energy rates charged for temporary connections, reducing time and bureaucracy for the required licenses, approaching educational campaigns and creating a permanent working group were discussed.

The German councilor prepared a letter to be forwarded to the Municipality of Manaus with the proposal to reduce the heat charged in the Tax on Services (ISS) to benefit the tourist trade, dropping from 5% to 2%, in order to leverage the return of activities of entertainment.
