Tourism Board, created by the first-ever Brazilian Tourism Minister, has the
task to set up policies to foster the development of tourism in the country.
“I’m excited about the NASCAR type simulators that replicate racing on
famous race circuits such as Indianapolis”, Baldacci says. “This wonderful
product, containing state-of-the-art simulation technology, will provide me
with the opportunity to expand the company’s business, either by myself or
through revenue share agreements, with partners from the industry
worldwide.” He intends to match the quality of the product with his long
time industry experience and knowledge and to introduce the major players in
different areas of the world, to this exciting concept, which he expects
will develop a new and profitable attraction for their markets.
