Revista Viagem e Turismo gives further recognition to our archipelago, attesting to the island's return to tourist taste. People want to go there, that's why Fernando de Noronha is back! Today the entire hotel chain is busy, welcoming those who visit there, making tourists want to return to this important symbol of Pernambuco", he concluded.
