Gearing up for carnival


Carnival is one of the longest and most important holidays in Brazil. It is important that companies are prepared, as the event starts making an impact the week before the holiday.

 

During that period fuel sales increase because many Brazilians travel to other cities and states to visit family members or spend the time with friends. Airports, ports, roads, tolls and hotels are also impacted.

 

Logistics provider Dachser Brazil therefore recommends that its customers make special arrangements. "Businesses should plan their logistics strategy well in advance of the holiday. We review the critical steps with our colleagues at Dachser Brazil in detail to ensure that our customers’ supply chains continue to run without major interruptions," explains Vincent Touya, managing director Dachser USA.

 

Although the official holiday is not until 5 March this year, Brazilians enjoy the celebration for four consecutive days, starting on 2 March.
