The app allows users to seamlessly combine different modes of transport without having to switch between different tabs, apps or websites. Popular travel destinations in Brazil include places like Gramado, Búzios, Paraty, Chapada Diamantina, Lençóis Maranhenses and Bonito.

Successful beta phase and growing popularity

Omio's beta phase in Brazil was successfully completed between July and September 2025. Users are pleased with the app, which is very popular in Brazil. Over 48 countries have already made bookings through the platform and the app has received a rating of 4.9 on the App Store and 4.8 on the Google Play Store. This positive feedback is an indicator of Omio's prospects for success in a market that is becoming increasingly sought after.

The Brazilian tourism industry is currently showing strong growth. In the first half of 2025, the sector recorded an increase of 6.9% compared to the previous year, generating revenues of BRL 108 billion. These numbers reflect the potential that Omio sees in Brazil.

Brazil – An up-and-coming travel destination

Brazil is expected to see a record increase in international visitors in 2024, with over 4 million arrivals in the first seven months of the year. This represents an increase of 10.4% compared to 2023 and even exceeds pre-pandemic levels. Popular travel destinations within the country include Rio de Janeiro, the Amazon, Bahia and the breathtaking Iguazú Falls.

To promote the country as a safe travel destination, the Brazilian government and the tourism office have made significant efforts. These measures, combined with the positive trends in the tourism sector, have made Brazil one of the most attractive travel destinations in South America. The market for tourism in Brazil is expected to reach $17.15 billion by 2024, further highlighting the market's relevance.

In addition to classic tourism, sports tourism and culinary experiences have established themselves as important factors. Travelers can discover numerous local delicacies and street food. To offer visitors a more comprehensive experience, technological innovations such as free Wi-Fi hotspots and mobile apps for better orientation are used.

With the abolition of visa requirements for some countries and increased security measures, Brazil is positioning itself as the safest travel destination in South America. Travelers in 2024 can expect to budget between $50 and $150 per day, while they can find a variety of accommodations from luxury resorts to hostels to enjoy their stay.

The prospect of the upcoming Carnival celebrations in Rio de Janeiro, which will take place from February 9th to 17th, 2024 and are expected to attract 46 million visitors, tops it all off. In this lively atmosphere, Omio finds a perfect time to establish its service and help travelers plan their adventures in Brazil.
