Infraestrutura<br />
Brasília é uma cida<strong>de</strong> nova se comparada a outras centenárias pelo Brasil. Mas<br />
apresenta uma infraestrutura turística invejável. Sua re<strong>de</strong> hoteleira se concentra no Eixo<br />
Monumental, a cinco quilômetros da Esplanada dos Ministérios, on<strong>de</strong> se encontram<br />
os órgãos governamentais. Ao todo, são 32 mil leitos para aten<strong>de</strong>r uma <strong>de</strong>manda <strong>de</strong><br />
aproximadamente 1 milhão <strong>de</strong> turistas por ano.<br />
O Centro <strong>de</strong> Convenções Ulysses Guimarães é o maior do Brasil, com 53 mil metros<br />
quadrados, po<strong>de</strong>ndo aten<strong>de</strong>r em um único evento 9,4 mil pessoas. E como Brasília é bem<br />
dividida por vocações, ele também fica bem próximo dos hotéis. O mesmo ocorre com<br />
o complexo esportivo – Estádio Mané Garrincha, Centro Aquático Cláudio Coutinho e<br />
Ginásio Nilson Nelson, on<strong>de</strong> foi disputado a Copa do Mundo <strong>de</strong> Futsal da FIFA, em 2008.<br />
Infrastructure<br />
Brasília is new compared to other centuries-old cities found in Brazil. But it offers an<br />
enviable tourist infrastructure. Its chain of hotels is concentrated in the Monument<br />
Axis, five kilometers from the Ministerial Esplana<strong>de</strong>, where all of the governmental<br />
organizations are located. In all, there are 32 thousand beds to serve a <strong>de</strong>mand of<br />
approximately 1 million tourists a year.<br />
The Ulysses Guimarães Convention Center is the largest in Brazil at 53 thousand square<br />
meters, able to hold 9.4 thousand people for a single event. And since Brasília is divi<strong>de</strong>d<br />
by profession, the center is also located in close proximity to hotels. The same can be<br />
said for the sports complex – Mané Garrincha Stadium, Claudio Coutinho Aquatic Center,<br />
and Nilson Nelson Gymnasium, where the FIFA Futsal World Cup was held in 2008.<br />
Esporte<br />
A cida<strong>de</strong> recebe, anualmente, etapas nacionais <strong>de</strong> diversas<br />
categorias esportivas. A Stock Car sempre coloca seus<br />
carros para rodar no Autódromo Nélson Piquet. Ainda no<br />
automobilismo, a Fórmula Truck tem presença garantida<br />
para 2009. A Volta <strong>de</strong> Brasília reúne centenas <strong>de</strong> ciclistas<br />
e uma das etapas do Nacional <strong>de</strong> Vôo Livre pousa na<br />
Esplanada dos Ministérios.<br />
O Brasileiro <strong>de</strong> <strong>Vôlei</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Praia</strong> é outro evento que marca<br />
presença no calendário. No último aniversário <strong>de</strong> Brasília,<br />
a arena montada em frente ao Museu Nacional reuniu um<br />
público <strong>de</strong> quase 10 mil pessoas. E nesse ano a Abertura<br />
do Circuito <strong>Mundial</strong> da categoria promete agitar a multidão.<br />

The Tour of Brasília brings together hundreds of cyclists. And one<br />
of the legs of the National Air Sport Association has its landing on<br />
the Ministerial Esplana<strong>de</strong>.<br />
The Brazilian Beach Volleyball tournament is another notable<br />
event on the sports calendar. At the celebration of Brasília’s last<br />
