Brazil’s President has signed an agreement to strengthen tourism cooperation among the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). The deal aims to streamline travel, promote joint tourism initiatives, and increase the flow of visitors between member countries.
The agreement includes measures such as facilitating visa procedures, enhancing air connectivity, and promoting cultural exchange programs. It is designed to capitalize on the growing middle-class populations in BRICS countries, which represent a significant market for both domestic and international travel. By fostering tourism, the nations hope to boost economic growth, create jobs, and strengthen cultural ties. This initiative marks a concrete step toward deepening cooperation within the BRICS bloc beyond traditional economic and political spheres.
