EXPOTEL, the International Hotel and Gastronomy Fair, which starts on June 15th, in São Paulo, is the second edition of the BOGEC Congress (Brazilian Opportunities Gaming, E-sports & Casino), and has the iGaming Brazil portal as a media partner event official.
The BOGEC congress will bring investment opportunities to the hotel and tourism trade market, create new revenues and strengthen tourist destinations in Brazil, based on the approval of Law 442/91, which was approved in the Chamber of Deputies in 2022, and it is in the Justice Commission of the Federal Senate to be put to the vote and later to be sanctioned by the presidents of the republic.
In addition, there is the approval of the regulation of sports betting, whose law was approved in 2018, and added to the concessions of State Lotteries.
The impact of these approvals could bring more than US$ 70 billion to the Brazilian economy, and the tourism/hospitality sector will be the sector with the greatest impact, with Integrated Casinos Resorts, Tourist Casinos, Bingos, Online Casinos, Sports Bars with bets sports halls and even Lottery Houses, all with a great possibility of being installed in Resorts, Hotels, Theme Parks, Restaurants and Bars.
