Rio de Janeiro is a no-brainer for corporate travel planners looking for a destination that has five star accommodations and corporate meeting facilities, along with all the recreation and nightlife of a world-class metropolitan city. Like it hot? Rio is for you, as the average annual high temperature is 86 (°F) and, in the summer months, the highs are a comfortable 81 (°F), with nice moderating sea breezes on the beaches. There's something for everyone in the tropical metropolis: beaches, amazing nightlife, rock climbing, hang gliding, hiking, swimming – anything you can think of is probably available here.
This is the home of such beaches as Copacabana and Ipanema, and the beaches are lined with world-class tourist hotels that can accommodate most price ranges and preferences. Surfing, snorkeling, body boarding and kite surfing are just a few of the water sports available. And then there's Carnival.
The centuries old Rio de Janeiro Carnival is something that just has to be experienced. It lasts just four days but you won't find a more intense four days of celebration and extravagance on the planet. This cultural festival is the main reason many people travel to Rio and is a fun way for attendees to unwind after a long day of meetings.
For fun, interesting history, a great climate, and amazing things to do, you can't beat Rio de Janeiro as a destination for corporate travel with a twist.
