Our story began in January 2011 in the city of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) with João Ricardo Mendes, Antônio Gomes and José Eduardo Mendes. The company was born with the purpose of making it possible to sell hotel stays to groups of travelers at lower prices.
Today, we are a global brand based in Rio de Janeiro and operating throughout Brazil and abroad. We're also present around the world with our offices in Porto (Portugal) and Montreal (Canada).
In 2017, we implemented an Administrative Council. Every board reports to the council, which is responsible for setting guidelines for the entirety of Hurb. Thus, we have a more equal distribution in the control of the company.
The number of Hurb travelers boarding per day rounds up to almost 8 full Boeing 737-700s. That's a lot of people traveling with us!
In 2021, we executed the travels of approximately 480,000 people. In 2022, 650,000 of our travelers have already boarded. In August 2022 alone, we boarded more than 100,000 passengers – Guarulhos airport, the main one in Brazil and the largest of South America, for example, receives more than one Hurb traveler per minute.
Knowing all this data, you'll understand that we have the capacity to handle high volumes of passengers and that we are committed to your travel experience.
