GFTurismo

What GFTurismo does

GF Turismo is a privately held Brazilian luxury travel agency operating from Brasília (Distrito Federal) with a registered CNPJ (17.781.347/0001-11), serving affluent Brazilian consumers seeking high-end leisure travel. The company sells customized travel packages covering three primary verticals: luxury all-inclusive resorts (notably Club Med properties in Brazil and abroad, plus the domestic Transamérica Resort Comandatuba), European circuit packages under the "Série Conquistas" brand, and cruise packages (primarily MSC Cruzeiros including the MSC Grandiosa), with additional specialization in Caribbean destinations and destination weddings/honeymoons. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the company website (gftur.com.br), WhatsApp, email inquiry, Instagram, YouTube, and event marketing including the Expo Homeschooling Brasil.

The company employs 1-10 people and is owned and operated by founder Giordana Fernandez, with travel agent Lucas Moreno handling website and content creation. Core technology is limited to standard website and communication platforms; there are no disclosed proprietary systems, apps, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities. Product pricing on European circuit packages is published at R$7,015-R$8,482 for the first passenger (second passenger free when sharing a room), with Club Med promotional pricing offering up to 30-35% discounts during seasonal campaigns; other packages are quote-based.

The business model is commission- and markup-based transaction fees on travel packages sold to end consumers. Revenue streams include travel package sales (flights, accommodations, experiences bundled), resort and hotel bookings via Club Med and Transamérica partnerships, and cruise package sales. Customer segmentation spans couples and honeymoon travelers, families seeking luxury all-inclusive experiences, affluent individual travelers, and a niche homeschooling family segment reached through the Expo Homeschooling Brasil. The company does not disclose revenue, has raised no outside funding, and operates without a parent company or institutional investors.
