Using Whatsapp, it is possible to obtain information about hotels, inns or rental houses that are still available. The center also works for those who want to provide a space for rent

The 25th edition of the International Environmental Film and Video Festival (Fica) has something new this year. An Accommodation Center was created to assist people who intend to go to the festival in searching for places in hotels, inns or rental houses.

The festival, which takes place between the 11th and 16th of June, is organized by the Government of Goiás, through the State Secretariat for Culture (Secult), in co-organization with the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), through the Foundation Educational Radio and Television (RTVE). In every edition, the city of Goiás receives thousands of people, including tourists, students, filmmakers, press to enjoy the festival and the city, which has its hosting capacity compromised.

The Fica 2024 Accommodation Center was created so that people can have a channel to obtain information about places that still have vacancies, or if there have been cancellations, and also to direct the public to people residing in the city who rent their own spaces. In fact, through the center, it is also possible to offer a place to stay, and not just search for available places.

During the days of the event, the center will also have a physical service location in the Municipal Market. Anyone looking for vacancies or offering accommodation needs to get in touch via the official Whatsapp channel of the Accommodation Center at 62 98163-9815 and start the service.

“One of the advantages of the center is that you will have a place to stay with quality, with peace of mind. Through this WhatsApp, the person will have all the information and we will direct them to the place with a vacancy or someone will be there to direct them to the houses, presenting and seeing prices”, explains guide Otávia Xavier Barbosa, responsible for the services.

Fica 2024 has a vast free program, with competitive exhibitions, debates with big names in national and international cinema, environmental activities and cultural attractions.
