What Real Tour does

Real Tour is a privately held, family-owned tourism operator headquartered in Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, founded in 1996 by José Carlos de Oliveira and Geyza Amorim. The company sells sport fishing and ecological tourism packages targeting individual travelers and small groups visiting the Pantanal wetland region. Its core operational asset is the YATCH REAL, a three-story river-based floating hotel with 16 suites, a restaurant with 75-inch plasma TV, jacuzzi spa, gym, IRIDIUM satellite communications, septic/wastewater treatment, and onboard potable water systems, operating on the Paraguai River and its tributaries.

The business model is direct-to-consumer: customers contact the company by phone, email, or website pre-reservation form to define dates and book packages that bundle accommodation, meals, and guided fishing. Real Tour also operates a complementary ground transportation fleet consisting of two micro-buses (34 and 22 seats) for transfers between Campo Grande and Corumbá and for Bolivian border excursions, sold as add-on services. The company maintains a single regional office at Rua Manoel Cavassa, 157 in the historic Porto Geral district, renovated to IPHAN heritage standards, and uses its website and Facebook page as primary marketing channels with content around fishing tips, recipes, fauna, and a customer-submitted 'Fisherman's Area' community.

No public revenue, headcount, pricing, or capital structure information is disclosed. There is no evidence of institutional investment, M&A activity, partnerships, or geographic expansion beyond the existing Pantanal/Bolivian border corridor. The technology profile is operational and physical rather than digital or AI-enabled, and the company's strategic posture appears oriented toward steady, asset-utilization-driven operation of a single high-capex vessel rather than rapid scaling.
