1. Rio de Janeiro: Brazil’s City of Contrasts Rio de Janeiro is a city of contrasts, with its stunning white sand beaches, iconic landmarks, and colorful favelas. It’s a place of great beauty, but also one of great poverty. Rio is home to 6.3 million people, and almost a third live in favelas, or slums. The city is divided by income, with favelas located in the hills and wealthier neighborhoods on the coast. Despite the poverty and inequality, Rio is also a vibrant city, with festivals, music and culture that draw millions of tourists each year.

For thirty years, the web has been a system of exits, a labyrinth of blue underlined doors pointing outward, each page no more than a step toward another place. With the global launch of AI Max for Search and, more generally, “Ads in AI Overviews” (awaiting a shorter name or acronym… AIO, maybe?), Google will likely invert this very ontology. The centrifugal logic of hyperlinks will collapse into a centripetal mechanism, where answers no longer reside elsewhere but are generated, framed, and monetized in place, with no escape. This is not a cosmetic refresh or one of those algorithmic oscillations that SEOs obsessively chart. It is a tectonic rupture, a rewriting of the rules that sustained the entire economy of discovery. The line between information and promotion, between organic and paid, between presence and intrusion, dissolves. For the hotel sector, which has always fought for visibility on the precarious margins of the SERP, this is nothing less than the advent of a new era, the one I have long described as the “post-search” world.
