There are those who say after all that’s going on and the Coronavirus go away, people will give a step back before leaving home and attending events, concerts, parks, cinemas, theaters and any corner of the city that can cause agglomerations. Oh boy, do you really think that?
Knowing the feeling that missing Recife is the biggest feeling in a straight line, I doubt that the people here will stop taking that caldinho and gossip at Boa Viagem beach or go to Recife Antigo on Sundays to skate, ride a bike through cycle track or visit the museums Cais do Sertão and Paço do Frevo. There’s no danger!
Have a picnic at Parque Santana or dance Forró at Sítio Trindade! Even if Nassau resurrects and makes another ox fly (Oops, actually the Boi Voador Festival has already done it!).
And there is one thing that explains my optimism: Lack.
If there is a PHD in being needy it is Recife’s people. But this is not just our exclusivity. According to the study by Hyoe Cycle, one of the trends that will pump post pandemic will be immersive experiences, mainly in the cultural area, in technology and in travel, simply because people will appreciate even more the fact of being close to other people and doing cool things with them.
It will be time to do more representative things, get to know our city better its history, its attractions, unveil curiosities and value contact (that’s right!) With other people. Obviously, the concern with the health and hygiene of public spaces is a path of no return. But in fact, a crowd may want to embrace and give many kisses around the world that awaits.
As much as technology has shown us that it can optimize productive and professional activities or provide us with good and inexpensive entertainment without leaving home (and there are plenty brega music lives and online courses, my goodness), we still haven’t left aside the importance of touch , the smell, the hug, the eye to the eye. I even think that our need to “be with people” will become even greater.
A “friend” of mine told me that when this quarantine is over, he will kiss everyone who comes ahead (interesting …) So Recifenses, go ahead! But, don’t forget to wash your hands kkkkkk.
And for you who are a tourist, you’re exited to come to Recife, right? I know how it is…
The capital of creativity is full of incredible and unusual attractions for you to resume your life as a traveler. A study carried out by Mapie Consultoria, commissioned by Submarino Viagens, points out that the international flow of travel will take a long time to resume. However, it is a great opportunity to increase travel in Brazil! According to the data collected in this study, the Northeast region is in the minds of consumers as the most desired destination when the coronavirus pandemic ends.
In addition, the majority of tour operators foresee a resumption of activity in 2021, mainly after the sale of packages and services in advance and with excellent discounts.
For now my dear, stay at home connected here on the Portal and @visitrecife that we will warm your heart and prepare you to dive with everything in this Recife that is crazy to pinch you, hug you and give you a big kiss.
