After running one of Latin America's top interactive ad agencies planning campaigns
for Sony, Marriott and UOL and traveling extensively for his clients throughout
South America, Michael decided to put his travel experience and knowledge of Brazil
to the test with creating a unique Brazil luxury tour company. Armed with 15 years
of traveling, knowing how to create innovative concepts and campaigns with top executives,
6 years ago Michael decided to leave the ad business to do what he was really passionate
about... travel. Since then Vip Brazil grew into the much larger VIP Tour Group
planning tours for all of South America.
