Skål International Rio de Janeiro hosted an unforgettable gathering during the last weekend of May 2025, bringing together nearly 80 participants —including Skålleagues, friends, and family members— at the charming Hotel Vila Galé Eco Resort, a Portuguese-owned property located in the stunning city of Angra dos Reis, by the Bay of Ilha Grande.

The event provided a wonderful opportunity to strengthen bonds of friendship, foster mutual understanding, and enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings. The atmosphere was filled with camaraderie and joy, truly reflecting the spirit of Skål International.

According to Rafael Baring, one of the three co-presidents of Skål International Rio de Janeiro, the enthusiastic support from members was a clear sign of the event’s success:

“The members’ support for this event proved it was a big deal for all of us”.

Events like this reinforce Skål Internastional’s commitment to friendship, responsible tourism, and meaningful connections among industry professionals. Here’s to many more gatherings like this one!
