The movement of customers in the region of the Tarumã-Açu river doubles in many developments

Manaus (AM) – Since the temperatures began to rise uncontrollably, the people of Manaus leave the city and head towards the floating ones to cool off and have fun times with family or friends, especially on weekends. The movement of customers in the region of the Tarumã-Açu river doubles in many developments.

At TupinamBar, owner Caio Tiradentes celebrates the best time of year to earn money. According to him, in summer, the restaurant with capacity for 80 people reaches maximum occupancy on warmer days.

“There are six months of movement in half and six months with full capacity. There are times when we even have to ask the boatmen to stop bringing customers”,

declared the entrepreneur.

The attractions of the place, surrounded by water and with dishes made with good quality products, captivate customers. Photographer Tonico Santos comes to the place at least twice a month and, in the summer, he becomes even more frequent.

“I’m coming every week. Sometimes I come with my wife and two children. Others, I come alone. Here, I relax listening to good music, bathing in the river to relieve the heat. And I have the convenience of being well served”,

spoke while receiving the snack and cold beer on the edge of the floating.

Previous leases

Floating rentals have also been sought after by those who want a day of leisure or want to hold an event in a place surrounded by nature. The largest and most structured ones have a good occupancy rate in the period and even greater expectations with the arrival of the home week holiday. In Amazonas, the union of the state holiday with the national one can provide seven days off.

“Demand has been great in the leasing application with which I operate. For my floating with two bedrooms, living room and a good leisure area, I only have a vacancy for the 3rd of September. The other dates are already closed.

explained the businessman and communication director of the Association of Floating River Tarumã-Açu (Afluta), Joelson Melo.

In the smaller floating ones there are still vacancies and optimism from businessmen who invested in environmental care to attract visitors and tourists.

“All garbage is separated into baskets for proper disposal in Manaus. The energy is solar. The grease trap is cleaned frequently and the waste is treated so as not to pollute the environment. The same occurs with the waste from the bathroom that passes through an ecological treatment plant. With all these precautions, my floating boat is prepared to receive families who like to have close contact with one of the great beauties of our state, the rivers”,

declared Wagner Frota, businessman known as Frota do Purus.

Businesswoman Paula Campos explained that the Amazonian summer has even entered the calendar of celebrities. “We have already received national singers, actors and personalities and international tourists. Some even reserve this period of the year to be here. Therefore, it is good for those interested to hurry. I still have a vacancy, I just don’t know until when, ”she warned.
