COP30: More than an environmental event
COP30, which will be held in Belém in November 2025, is not just an event about the environment and climate change. It is also a major economic, social and cultural showcase for Pará and the entire Amazon region.
It is estimated that thousands of visitors from different countries will land in the capital of Pará, moving sectors such as tourism, gastronomy, hospitality, transportation, technology, culture and services in general.
The big question: Are you prepared?
But the big question is: are you prepared to make money in this scenario?
COP30 opens space for both formal and informal entrepreneurs. From the owner of a small inn who can offer alternative accommodation, to the artisan who transforms local culture into an export product.
Opportunities for different sectors
The possibilities are varied and cover different areas:
Accommodation: Rent a suite from your home on a digital platform to tourists
Transportation: Taxi drivers and ride-sharing drivers can prepare to serve tourists in a differentiated way
Gastronomy: Restaurants can adapt their menus to receive international audiences and open for 20 consecutive days serving 3 meals
Local cuisine: Offer workshops on local cuisine and regional techniques
Tourism: Be a guide or personal secretary offering personalized experiences
Handicrafts: Sell handmade objects based on local culture via Instagram and other platforms
Tourist packages: Create tourist package tours and sell the experience of a day in the Amazon
Technology: Offer digital solutions for the event
Use your creativity
There are so many opportunities. The important thing is to use your creativity to identify unexploited niches and offer unique services and products that meet the needs and interests of international visitors.
Thinking about the legacy
Another important point is the legacy. More than immediate revenue, COP30 can consolidate businesses and careers.
The challenge is to think about how to offer quality, sustainable services and products with the face of the Amazon, taking advantage of global interest in our territory.
Strategic preparation
To make the most of this opportunity:
Start preparing now — time flies
Study the market and understand the profile of expected visitors
Qualify your services and products
Investigate digital tools to connect with international tourists
Build a solid reputation before the event
Think about sustainability — COP30 visitors will value responsible practices
Conclusion
The opportunity is knocking on the door. It's up to each of us to decide whether we will just watch or be protagonists of this transformation.
After all, COP30 can be the turning point not only for environmental changes, but also for economic changes in the lives of those who know how to seize the moment.
