Travel packages to Libertadores

'Wherever I Am I Will Be There', the official travel program, enters its second year with new features

By - in
In its second year of operation, the Onde Estiver Estarei project launches packages for Rubro-Negro fans to follow the team in games in Brazil and South America, also during the Copa Libertadores in 2010.

Packages for the "Onde Estiver Estarei" (Where I'll Be Here) program, Flamengo's official travel program for Copa Libertadores matches, are now on sale. Fans everywhere can check out the plans and terms and conditions of the program, launched last year in partnership with tour operator Marsans and sports management company Golden Goal Sports Ventures. Prices are calculated based on the fan's origin and destination, among other conditions, in customized packages.

Those who purchase packages for two or three games will receive discounts. One of the new features in this second year of the project is the restructuring of the sales platform on the program's website ( http://www.ondeestiverestarei.com.br/ ).

The process is now more dynamic and easier for consumers to understand, according to Mauro Corrêa, CEO of Golden Goal. "The system is a pioneer in this segment. We give fans the opportunity to complete the entire purchase process themselves and the security of having the voucher in their hands within minutes."

The program offers two types of packages. For fans outside of Rio, there's the "Maraca is Ours" package, which highlights the match at Maracanã. The program also includes a Rio de Janeiro tourist agenda and other club-related attractions, as well as new content for 2010. The second package, called "Pra cima eles Mengo," takes fans to the cities where Flamengo will play, whether in the Brazilian Championship or the Libertadores.

The "Onde Estiver Estarei" packages include tickets for the game, flights, transfers (airport-hotel; hotel-airport) accompanied by a guide registered with MinTur, a personalized gift kit from Flamengo, options for city tours, as well as a raffle for an official shirt autographed by the team for groups of more than 10 people.

According to Paulo Pimentel, Marketing Manager at Marsans, the project enters a new phase in 2010 with a wider range of options for different fans: "Our effort is always to maintain the quality of the product wherever we have to do it. Bringing to Rio a Rubro-Negro fan who has never been to Maracanã or providing an unforgettable trip to watch Flamengo in a decisive game outside of Rio. Seeing these customers satisfied not only with the result of the match, but also with every aspect of the trip certainly makes this effort worthwhile."

In 2009, the project took hundreds of fans to see Flamengo play across Brazil or at the Maracanã, from 29 different origins across Brazil.
