Global Vision Access

What Global Vision Access does

Global Vision Access (GVA) is a privately held, founder-led communications and marketing firm founded in 2009 in Brazil by Gisele Abrahao, with a second operating entity (GVA USA) established in 2022. The firm specializes in integrated representation of international tourism destinations, providing PR, strategic consulting, marketing, and digital campaign services to national tourism boards, destination marketing organizations, embassies, and consulates. Its client base spans government tourism authorities in Norway, Monaco, Seychelles, Barbados, Hungary, Jordan, Botswana, Kenya, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and others — typically structured as multi-year retainers with bespoke scope, which places GVA in the B2B professional services category with quote-based, non-public pricing.

The core service lines are strategic consulting, communication and public relations, marketing and business relations, digital activities (campaigns, social, online marketing), and tailored online platform development. Under the GVA Company umbrella sit four wholly owned subsidiaries: Bureau Mundo (a B2B tourism ecosystem platform launched in 2020), LPM.World (a content platform launched in 2018), Impactos Positivos (an ESG-oriented awards and content program launched in 2020), and Brasil DNA (a 2025 platform dedicated to promoting Brazilian tourism in the U.S. and Canadian markets, partnered with Embratur). Technology is described as digital platforms and virtual event infrastructure rather than proprietary AI or ML systems, and no API or developer-facing product was disclosed. The team is small (11-50 employees) and multilingual, organized into functional heads for administration, communications, technology/UX, and U.S./Canada trade marketing. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional capital events were identified, and the company is operated entirely under founder ownership.
