After 17 years, Itaipu Binacional received, for the second time, a visit from the royal family of Denmark. The delegation, made up of princes and princesses, was received on Sunday (31), at 14:30 pm, at the Visitor Reception Center (CRV), by the executive financial director, Margaret Groff.
The royalty stayed inside the Iguaçu National Park. In 1999, the royal family had already visited the plant and planted a Jatobá tree.
The expectation is that the list of distinguished visitors to the plant will increase even further during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. This is because other heads of state should take advantage of their trip to the country to visit Foz do Iguaçu, which is home to the Iguaçu Falls, one of the main attractions postcards from Brazil, and the largest hydroelectric plant producing clean and renewable electrical energy in the world.
Only for August has the arrival of the princess of Thailand and the president of Hungary been confirmed. Foz do Iguaçu is also establishing itself as a glamorous destination.
