An open letter to 2026: here’s to twelve months of transformative encounters

Dear 2026,

Here we are. We have arrived with our soles well-worn from the journey and our souls ready for fresh paths. In our luggage we carry the echoes of the voices we heard in 2025 and the strength of the hands we shook across different continents. We carry the lessons from inspiring leaders who crossed our path, like Violet Busingye, who taught us that structuring processes requires just as much technical skill as it does heart. We come with the keen eye of those who know that every new year is uncharted territory waiting to be drawn by those who believe in the power of the collective.

At a-gente, every new project is far more than just a technical deliverable. It is a deep conversation with time, a lesson learned and a sincere attempt to translate the here and now into a viable and human future. That is precisely why we are writing to you. We do not expect just working days from you. We expect movement, being fully present, genuine exchange and transformation.

We want your months to be filled with people who see tourism, culture and sustainability as threads of the same web. People who do not see isolated sectors but living bridges between the economy, the territory and the community. Our wish is to keep taking this perspective beyond Brazil, as we have learned through practice that the world changes when local experiences gain a global voice and reach.

May every border we cross in this new cycle come with a fresh lesson. May every partnership be born of mutual trust. May every technical assessment we carry out hold a vibrant human story at its core.

If the passing year was one of expansion and discovery, we wish for your arrival to mark a time of maturity and harvest. May the relationships we have built turn into solid projects and may our plans become stories capable of inspiring those around us to take action too.

We will continue to be what moves us. We are a living consultancy that listens, translates, weaves and delivers. A company that works with sharp strategy but never loses its sensitivity. We believe in the power of well-designed processes but we trust, above all, in the transformative potential of people.

So, 2026, bring on the encounters and the power of the collective. May you be full of broad horizons, honest conversations and partnerships that make the world turn in a lighter, fairer and more shared way.

We promise to move through your days with the curiosity of someone drawing maps while walking and the courage of someone who knows where they want to get to. When

December finds us again, we will together tally up the beautiful sum of what we dreamed and what we were able to achieve.

With hope and purpose,

The a-gente Team
