Brazil Sensations: Four International Awards and a Groundbreaking Incentive Campaign in 2026

In total, four titles that celebrate both the team’s expertise in luxury travel, in event organization, and in destination management across Brazil and Latin America.

For Francophone travel agencies and tour operators planning Brazil, these distinctions reaffirm a belief: the success of a tailor-made trip hinges first and foremost on a solid, responsive local partner capable of turning a request into a memorable experience.

During the World Luxury Travel Awards 2026, Brazil Sensations claimed two categories: Best Destination Management Company – Latin America and Best MICE Operator – Brazil.

The first title places Brazil Sensations among the benchmarks of premium receptive services across the entire Latin American continent. It rewards an approach where every detail matters: choosing a charming hotel in Paraty or a palace in Rio, access to a chef for a private dinner, a passionate guide capable of narrating the story of a neighborhood, or smooth logistics across multiple regions of a vast country.

The second title, Best MICE Operator – Brazil, highlights the team’s ability to craft group, incentive, and seminar trips at a level of demand comparable to luxury individual travel. Because for Brazil Sensations, a group of one hundred participants deserves the same attention as a couple on a honeymoon.

At the World MICE Awards 2026, Brazil Sensations was crowned Best MICE Organizer. This new accolade continues the trailblazing title Latin America’s Best MICE Organizer obtained in 2024, and confirms the agency’s position among Brazil’s leading event organizers.

Corporate conventions, incentive travel, product launches, conferences or gala evenings: Brazil provides an exceptional playground for professional events. Yet one must know how to orchestrate transfers, venues, suppliers, safety, and contingencies, all while giving the program a true identity. This artisan-like work, often invisible to participants, is what the World MICE Awards sought to spotlight.

A private dinner in a historic Santa Teresa residence, a regatta in Guanabara Bay, an evening in the heart of the Atlantic forest, or a community-driven activity with a local community: each program is designed to evoke emotion and strengthen team cohesion.

Among the projects that best illustrate this savoir-faire, Brazil Sensations recently carried out an unprecedented incentive operation: a flotilla of 11 catamarans sailing for three days and two nights at sea along the Costa Verde, between Angra dos Reis, Ilha Grande and Paraty, for a group of more than 45 participants.

During these three days, the guests lived to the rhythm of the sea. They spent two nights aboard, moored in the pristine coves of Ilha Grande Bay, away from any bustle. On each boat, a chef prepared meals from fresh, local ingredients, turning every lunch and every dinner into a moment of sharing. The sailing included stops at waterfront restaurants nestled between the Atlantic forest, islands and beaches accessible only by sea, from Angra dos Reis to the turquoise waters of Ilha Grande, up to the historic center of Paraty.

Coordinating simultaneously 11 catamarans, their crews, the chefs, provisioning, sea safety and stops represented a real logistical challenge. It is precisely this type of project, both ambitious and bespoke, that makes the difference in an incentive program: an experience that participants would never have been able to live on their own and that they will remember for a long time.

The operation generated strong enthusiasm from participants and numerous accolades from the client, who praised the originality of the concept, the smoothness of the organization, and the quality of support throughout the journey. A fine demonstration of what the Costa Verde can offer to a corporate clientele seeking a truly exclusive experience.

These awards come a few months after another important milestone: in June 2026, Brazil Sensations earned B Corp certification, recognizing companies that meet high standards of social and environmental impact, transparency, and governance.

An active member of the Brazilian network of the United Nations Global Compact, the agency was also the first Brazilian receptive to commit to offsetting its carbon emissions, supporting certified projects in Brazil. It prioritizes local suppliers, artisans and communities, and integrates these principles into the design of its trips and events. For Brazil Sensations, luxury and responsibility are not opposed: they reinforce one another.

« Receiving these four distinctions in the same year is a tremendous source of pride for the whole team. They reward the daily work of our staff, but also the trust of our partner agencies and tour operators, without whom nothing would be possible. Our ambition remains the same: to reveal an authentic, demanding, and responsible Brazil, with the level of service that travelers deserve. »
