Jornal Nacional: Gramado deve receber 700 mil turistas até o final do feriado de Páscoa
Summary
Gramado anticipates an influx of 700,000 tourists during the Easter holiday, driven by the month-long 'Chocopasco' festival. This event showcases the local chocolate industry, which plays a significant role in the region's economy.
The festival features various performances and activities, engaging thousands of volunteers and highlighting the cultural significance of the event. The artisanal chocolate production in Gramado is a key attraction, with numerous stores offering a variety of products.
Chocopasco not only promotes tourism but also supports local employment, with the chocolate industry providing around 13,000 jobs. The festival's success relies on the collective efforts of the community, showcasing a blend of faith, art, and tradition.
