Not with violence, or mockery. A real leader listens, and responds. Meanwhile, at a recent rally, Trump mocked a protestor as his supporters violently attacked her.

Rio é eleito melhor destino de praia e de turismo esportivo da América do Sul em premiação internacional
O Rio de Janeiro foi eleito o melhor destino de praia e de turismo esportivo da América do Sul no World Travel Awards 2026, premiação internacional que reconhece destinos e empresas do setor turístico. Os vencedores foram anunciados nesta semana, após uma cerimônia realizada na Jamaica. Na categoria de turismo esportivo, esta é a décima conquista da capital fluminense, que já havia recebido o título em nove edições consecutivas, entre 2015 e 2023. O resultado marca o retorno do Rio ao primeiro lugar na categoria esportiva, após duas edições em que os vencedores foram São Paulo, em 2024, e Buenos Aires, em 2025. Já como destino de praia, a cidade conquistou o prêmio pelo segundo ano consecutivo. Na disputa deste ano, concorria com destinos como Fernando de Noronha, no Brasil, Ilhas Galápagos, no Equador, e San Andrés, na Colômbia. O reconhecimento ocorre em meio à ampliação do calendário de competições esportivas na cidade. Segundo dados do Visit Rio, entidade de promoção turística da capital, 36% dos 579 eventos previstos entre janeiro e setembro de 2026 estavam ligados ao esporte. No mês passado, o Rio também recebeu, pela primeira vez, uma partida da liga de futebol americano dos Estados Unidos (NFL). A expectativa é de que o setor ganhe novo impulso em 2027, quando o Maracanã será palco da abertura e da final da Copa do Mundo Feminina de futebol. As partidas estão marcadas para 24 de junho e 25 de julho, respectivamente. — Praia e esporte são dois elementos muito associados à imagem do Rio no mundo, mas essa relação vai além dos nossos cartões-postais. A prática de atividades ao ar livre faz parte do estilo de vida carioca, e a cidade também construiu uma estrutura e uma experiência importantes para receber competições de grande porte — afirma Luiz Strauss, presidente-executivo do Visit Rio. Hotéis cariocas também são premiados Além dos dois títulos conquistados pela cidade, estabelecimentos e empresas ligados ao setor turístico do Rio foram reconhecidos em categorias nacionais do World Travel Awards. O Fasano Rio de Janeiro, em Ipanema, foi eleito o melhor hotel-boutique do Brasil, enquanto o Copacabana Palace recebeu o prêmio de melhor hotel do país. A operadora Passion Brazil, que mantém a marca de turismo de luxo Passion Collection, também foi premiada na categoria de melhor operadora de turismo do Brasil. Segundo o Visit Rio, o Pier Mauá, responsável pelo terminal internacional de cruzeiros da cidade, foi reconhecido como melhor terminal de cruzeiros da América Latina no World Cruise Awards 2026, premiação voltada ao setor de turismo marítimo. — Essas conquistas destacam a qualidade da hotelaria e dos serviços turísticos que compõem a experiência de quem visita a cidade. A excelência no atendimento, a infraestrutura e a oferta de experiências diferenciadas são fatores importantes para a satisfação dos turistas e para a competitividade do destino — acrescenta Strauss. Criado em 1993, o World Travel Awards reconhece anualmente destinos, hotéis, operadoras e empresas do setor de viagens e turismo. A premiação é dividida em etapas regionais e uma etapa mundial.
