When considering traveling and extra-conference activities,
Salvador
outstands as a secure, beautiful, friendly and touristy city (more
than 2
million tourists by year). Among other attractions, there are more
than 40
km of all-year sunny beaches, well preserved historical monuments,
the best
and well-known five-stars hotels of the world and many options for
flight
connections from Europe, US and other Brazilian cities (Rio, São
Paulo,
Iguaçu Falls, ...). So, the idea is to associate a mix of very serious
and
high-level technical work with a very pleasant stay.
