ILOVERIO.COM – an innovative Rio de Janeiro portal that keeps international visitors in mind

RIO DE JANEIRO, July 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — In anticipation of the many international visitors, the inauguration ceremony for ILOVERIO.COM, an independent cultural project, is set for the night of July 26th 2016, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – media representatives can RSVP via email at credentials@iloverio.com.

Empowered by a simple layout of menus and submenus, ILOVERIO.COM is a new portal designed primarily to be used with tablets, allowing anyone to quickly find anything in Rio de Janeiro without having to type, providing thousands of direct links to local establishments ranging from bars, hotels, and restaurants to government and private institutions.

Dozens of beaches, forests, parks, bars, restaurants, cultural centers, museums, and unique spots can be found via a simple click, connecting users directly with original websites, maps, apps, studies, and high-quality sources of additional information.

In light of the huge number of international visitors expected in Rio de Janeiro, part of the portal is dedicated to behavioral rules to be followed while in the city, and tips on how to properly interact with the local culture, including a list of topics of conversation that are best avoided to respect the local sensitivity.

The portal offers a complete touristic-cultural interpretation, showing how each characteristic of Rio de Janeiro came to develop and how it blends together.

ILOVERIO.COM has garnered and secured the institutional and governmental support of over 40 Brazilian entities at the Municipal, State and Federal level, making the portal an institutionally-backed, privately-owned, independent platform with an extraordinary global reach.
