CW: Eurovision spoilers, American confusion, Domestic Avengers

“Oki doki, kiddos - what’s so important we’ve brought forward movie night to…” Tony looked at his watch. “... 3 o’clock in the afternoon?”

He looked around the lounge in confusion as Nat, Wanda and Bucky rearranged all the sofas, cushions and beanbags. Flag bunting hung from the ceiling, and the small kitchenette counter was laden with various snacks.

“It’s Eurovision, Tony.” Nat’s tone of voice suggested that that explained it all.

It did not.

“Euro-what now?”

Wanda came up beside him and started to steer him towards one of the seats.

“Just sit down, Stark. It’s about to start. Now where are the others?”

She looked around, auburn hair flying, but relaxed as Clint walked in, a grin on his face, followed by Bruce, Steve, and Sam. Wanda looked around them and smiled as Vision floated through the wall and towards her.

Clint bounded forward, launching himself over the back of the sofa and bouncing down next to Tony.

“Boy, are you in for a treat! This is going to be epic.” He grinned, completely unfazed by the blank looks from the other men. 

Sam settled on one of the other couches after a stern glare from Bucky, Steve joining him.

“Umm, could you possibly explain further?”

“If you will allow me…” The dulcet tones of FRIDAY echoed through the room as Nat and Bucky continued to shift and shuffle things around their confused team mates. “The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual event held in mid May every year, where the countries across the European continent all submit a musical act singing an original song. There are two semi-finals and then the final 26 acts star in the Final.”

Steve still looked confused.

“Well, what do the winners get?”

“The winning country gets to host the competition the following year, providing a boost for tourism and culture.”

Bruce settled down on the third couch, somehow having already snagged a bowl of popcorn.

“So the songs are good then?”

Nat snorted derisively.

“Nope. They are camp and cheesy, with ludicrous outfits, smoke machines and lots of pyrotechnics. But that’s the joy of it. And lots of the countries sing in their own language, so you have no idea what the song is actually about.”

Tony’s eyes went wide, nothing any clearer than it was before.

“Then why are we watching?”

As one Nat, Bucky and Wanda turned towards him.

“Because it’s Eurovision.”

“Umm, okay then…” He sunk down into the cushions, not sure it was worth risking the ire of undoubtedly the most dangerous trio in the room. “Can I ask why Thor gets out of this…”

Just then, the building shook, the unmistakable rumbling and light display signifying the bifrost had just hit the roof.  “..Scratch that.”

Nat turned on the television and squished in next to Clint. Vision and Wanda snuggled down into the beanbags. Thor burst into the room a few minutes later, placing Mjolnir onto the countertop.

“I haven’t missed it, have I?”

He took the final space next to Bruce, who passed over the bowl of popcorn.

“It’s the flag parade, apparently.”

The blonde god leant forward, arms resting on his knees.

“Ooo. I know this one! That’s Norway. I like them.”

Bruce smiled and elbowed his friend.

“Of course you do, they still treat you like a god.”

Across the room, Steve leant over to Bucky to whisper in his ear.

“Can I ask, if this is a European competition, why are Australia taking part?”

“Because they love how camp it is, and asked if they could join in.”

“I’m going to be confused during this whole thing, aren’t I?”

“Uh-huh…” Bucky threw some M & Ms up in the air, catching them in his mouth.

Back on the central sofa, Nat started to bounce slightly.

“Here we go! Prepare to be amazed…”

For the next 2.5 hrs the team sat, glued to the television, all manner of emotions running through them as they watched the eclectic musical display.

“Am I missing something,” asked Sam. “Why are they singing about Edgar Allen Poe?”

Bucky shrugged. “Why not?”

“Okay..?”

Steve nudged Bucky.  

“Buck - what’s she singing?”

“About how her love for her man is driving her crazy, but she doesn’t know if he feels the same.”

“Okay..?”

“My love…”

“Yes, Vis?

“This is an anti-war song, isn’t it?”

“It is, Vis.”

“Okay..?”

“Earth to Sam! Earth to Sam!”

Tony threw a screwed up piece of paper across the room and watched Sam jolt and shake his head as it bounced off.

“What?”

“You seem a bit invested in the Cyprus act there….”

“Fuck off, Tony.”

“Okay..?”

“Nat?”

“Yes, Bruce?”

“I don’t want to be rude, but is there a reason she seems likes she’s dressed like a werewolf?”

“Because it’s Eurovision.”

“Umm…okay..?”

Thor was bouncing in his seat as the Finnish act started.  

“This is more like it!”

Bruce peered at the screen, as though the neon pink and green outfits were starting to give him a migraine.

“But…but what’s it about?”

“Going out drinking!”

“Okay..?”

“Errrrm, Buck…What the hell did I just watch?”

Bucky didn’t even turn his head at Steve’s question.

“Croatia.”

That didn’t really help. All Steve knew was that he’d just seen something he couldn’t unsee.

“Okay..?”

The act from the UK finished and Tony stood up, cracking his neck.

“Well, guys. Thanks for that, I think. But now that’s over…”

“Nope!” Nat reached across Clint, who’d fallen asleep between them, slowly drooling on a cushion, to grab hold of Tony’s t-shirt and pull him back down. “Now it’s the half time show while the voting is done, and then it’s the results. And this year, we can vote from outside Europe. Look, there’s an app and everything.”

Tony blinked slowly in disbelief. “When’s it due to finish?”

“About 7pm.”

“What!” At Tony’s shout Clint sat bolt upright, snorted and sucked up a string of drool. “This thing goes on for 4 hours. Like how?”

“BECAUSE IT’S EUROVISION!” Came the chanted reply, this time with Thor joining in.

“Okay..?”

Tony pulled out his phone and opened the app store with a shrug. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.

“I got $50 on Finland. Who wants in?”

At 7.05pm Tony sat staring at the screen, mouth wide open as the others groaned and started to pass cash towards Bruce.

“What the fuck just happened?”

Bruce smiled and shrugged.

“It’s Eurovision, Tony.”

Inspired by a twitter thread i saw, I, Australian and certified dumb of ass, will now list every main American state and what I associate it with/what I think it's about/famous for WITHOUT GOOGLING. These thoughts will be stated as fact regardless of whether or not they are true.

Alabama - Banjos. Reese Witherspoon lives here. Shares a border with Florida for some reason. Fifteen people live here. I'm glad i'm not allowed to google because i feel like i'd find things i don't want to know.

Alaska - Mountains. Balto. State flower is a tree of some kind. The roads are just the tyre tracks in the snow of the vehicles that came before whispering "trust me". Kodiak is here, where Pitbull famously said 'keep fucking around, we'll be on the moon next.' I think this is where Mulder and Scully got fucked up by a brain worm.

Arizona - Desert but not the Las Vegas kind. The granyon canyon. State flower is a cactus. State bird also a cactus. Bella Swan got fucked up in a dance studio here. It seems very scenic.

Arkansas - The name of this state makes me think of rusty old utes and that's it, that's all I've got. "Pickup trucks" or whatever. Grow up.

California - The great Lucille Bluth once said, "I'd rather be dead in California than alive in Arizona" but personally I think i'm with Michael on this one. California has Hollywood and an ok tourist beach. Green Day are from here. San Francisco seems cool though, I like how it looks like a city designed specifically to kill skateboarders and cyclists. State flower is a grand theft auto PS2 disc. Population: more than Australia.

Colorado - Mountains. Elks and Deer and Eagles and Giraffes on ski slopes. Much domestic tourism, have never once heard of anyone from outside the US specifically visiting Colorado though idk. Verdict: America's New Zealand.

Connecticut - The dry weetbix of states. I think of monopoly but I can't remember why. State flower is a dandelion that has been stepped on. Biggest export is men's office attire, specifically brown two piece suits and those short sleeve button ups. I only found out today that there's a C in the middle of Connecticut I always thought it was 'Conneticut'.

Delaware - Delawhere the fuck is this state I have no idea. Probably still cooler than Connecticut. Famous for combination fast food chains and buildings that clearly used to be a pizza hut (you can tell by the roof). Idrk what Cracker Barrel is but I can tell you the employees spawn here.

Florida - Biscayne bay. Manatees. Shaped like a sock, or something else. Famous for hotels, motels, and holiday inns. Would be a fun state if not for the fact that every politician in charge of it is fucking it up so so bad. One of the few places in the USA where you can see the Southern Cross constellation. Miami Dale forever RIP Logan Horseman.

Georgia - peaches. atlantis. brisket. no other thoughts detected, moving on

Hawaii - Famous for killing James cunt Cook which is honestly a deserved and certified W for Hawaiians. Plagued (and I do mean plagued) by tourists, including Australian Prime Ministers ignoring national emergencies.

Idaho - Sleepy. Things don't happen here but when they do they happen so much because nothing happens here. National flower is probably like a daisy or something so so normal.

Illinois - Chicago bean. It's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. WatchDogs the game. Famous for girlbosses who kill their husbands. Population 11 millions.

Indiana - Rainy probably. Honestly I only remember this state exists because of Stranger Things, which I understand this is like someone saying they only remember Australia exists because of Crocodile Dundee but look. Population: At least 10.

Iowa - This is such a place to be from if you're moving to the big city because all the other waitresses at the diner back home said you got a voice worth payin for and you finally stopped letting your papa tell you what to do. Famous for crop duster planes. State flower is long grass.

Kansas - Famous for scarecrows, wheat and the like. Probably fun at Halloween actually. Great place to fake an alien sighting. I just remembered Dorothy is from here. Population: Yes.

Kentucky - Fried chicken. NASCAR. Speedway. Derby. State flower is a blown out tyre on the side of the road.

Louisiana - Very wet but in a pretty way. Birthplace of the Saxophone. New Orleans is officially the strongest reason I would ever be tempted to set foot in this country. New York wishes she was this beautiful. Famous for the Vampire Diaries spinoff The Originals.

Maine - Next to Kentucky. Lobsters are from here which means there's water, but don't ask me where. Famous for The Vampire Diaries. State flower is a rose, beautiful but generic, like a YA protagonist.

Maryland - Rural but in a manageable way. I think of letterboxes with the family last name on it. Grandmas love it here. Hairspray the musical.

Massachusetts - Ohhhh Legally Blonde. Boston. Harvarb Law. The colour brown. When pronounced it's a very nice name for a state actually.

Michigan - I reference 'can't have shit in Detroit' almost daily but I know almost nothing else about Michigan.

Minnesota - Mini Soda. Also a good state name. No idea what's here, deer or elk or beavers. There's no way to know for sure.

Mississippi - I like this state name less but only because it's hell on the lisp i battle to mask. It's named after a river. It's on the coast. Next to Pennsylvania.

Missouri - A lot of M states happening here. This place is famous for nothing. I don't know what the capital city is but it's definitely a place you move to for your job instead of like. On purpose. Population: 3 million. It's in the middle somewhere.

Montana - This state's main export is horse girls, very Saddle Club coded. It's on the Canadian border, but it shouldn't be like that. It should be in the middle. Hannah Montana's dad was all Nashville but he's basically from Toronto. Fucked up if you ask me.

Nebraska - When I think of Nebraska I think of those depressing Walmart carparks where there's nothing for miles except for the Walmart and one lady pushing a flatscreen in a trolley to the dodge ram she parked 600m away from the entrance so it won't get dinged by other car doors, because god forbid her utility vehicle show signs of wear.

Nevada - viva rock vegas (the flintstones). There's a salt lake here but NOT a salt lake city. That's somewhere else. I think there's motorsport here. NO WAIT THERE IS because i saw charles leclerc on the sphere on tv and he was so wide and i laughed so hard i choked on my own spit.

New Hampshire - What the fuck is New Hampshire that's not real. I thought it was like some beach suburb in New York state. What the fuck. Regardless. I bet you could pull up to the side of the road in New Hapshite and buy an avocado no questions asked. Probably like the USA's Byron Bay.

New Jersey - Everyone from here says it's bad. It makes me think of t shirts with a longer sleeve t shirt underneath and 2000s pop punk music. Gerard Way.

New Mexico - High School Musical is set in Albuquerque. High School Musical is also the only reason I can pronounce Albuquerque. This state is famous for High School Musical.

New York - She's talking over the rest of you and for what? Wall Street? Ugh. Kinda like the Melbourne of the USA.

North Carolina - I feel like cowbutch lesbians do numbers here for some reason. You could disappear into the hills with a woman in a tank top and assless chaps here if you were brave enough. Men do live here but they're treated like a new cast member on the fifth season of a sitcom, this one's for the girls.

North Dakota - Dakota is Carolina's femme girlfriend and they're in love.

Ohio - This is like that town in Cars that lightning mcqueen gets stuck in and the tourist cars are like oh we're only here because of a wrong turn. Yeah. You might find fireflies here though. Also Ohio is for Lovers or something.

Oklahoma - Swear word for Christians. Absolutely nothing happens here and if it does i feel like it involves chasing livestock.

Oregon - Prairies. This is where the Prairies are. Famous for the people who died while trying to be Not In Oregon.

Pennsylvania - Famous for The Office. And Dracula jokes. That's all i've got.

Rhode Island - Famous for winning Miss United States with the flaming batons routine in Miss Congeniality starring Sandra Bullock. Very small state. Possibly the smallest one but who's to say.

South Carolina - If north is for the lesbians, south is for the gays.

South Dakota - As above.

Tennessee - Country music and whiskey and line dancing, which is actually kinda hot when goth girls do it. Overall, Tennessee is the USA's answer to Gympie, which is a question that nobody asked. Overall i just think of the colour brown. Famous for Hayden Penterre. Penetentiary. Pendulum.

Texas - A South Australian would say Texas is famous for it's adorably small cattle farms. Lucky for me, i am not South Australian. This is the state that other states call redneck and racist to hide the fact that they are also redneck and racist, perhaps more so. Contains two of the main cities to name boys after. Dave Strider lives here. (Sorry for the Homestuck jump scare so late in the game.)

Utah - Salt Lake City. That bass pro shop monolith was here. In general i think of the colour orange. Home of the Hellmouth Sunbeams.

Vermont - Vermont is a state in the same way the spleen is an organ. Population: Zero.

Virginia - Is this not the same thing as Vermont?

Washington - Famous for Bella where the hell you been loca. Twin Peaks is probably set here idk i forgot all parts of the show that were not log lady. White House. Effervescent.

West Virginia - From the lyrics "Mountain mama. Take me home. Country road" we can determine that West Virginia has Mountains, Milfs, Homes, and Roads. I know nothing else about West Virginia.

Wisconsin - Wiscaaaansin. Whis-cahn-sin. There are definitely elks here. That 70's Show is set somewhere beneath the surface of this place. Population: grandparents and elk. I feel like you could get fucked up by a creature here if you're not careful. It's got trees and lakes and shit creatures love those. I think Yellowstone is somewhere around here.

Wyoming - Great lakes? Great lakes. This state is actually all lake. Idk. I like the name though, the verbiage of it all. Wyoming my way downtown. State flower is an empty wrapper blowing by down the street. Population: 800,000. Definitely a place you could go missing and never be seen again.

More in my exploration of "is ChatGPT" the powerful tool for brainstorming fictional world building some people keep telling me it is. When asking it to help create fictional countries ended repeatedly reproducing tourism pamplets I decided to ask it to create a war.

This is it's version of a war between Austria and Australia. Please note the ... rather hand wave at the actual locations of both of these countries and how that impacts this war...

Certainly! Let's imagine a fictional scenario in which Austria and Australia engage in a conflict. Please keep in mind that this is a completely fictional scenario and does not reflect any real-world events.

In this hypothetical situation, tensions between Austria and Australia have escalated due to a series of misunderstandings and geopolitical disagreements. The war between the two nations is not driven by deep-rooted animosity but rather by a complex web of political and economic factors.

The conflict begins with a dispute over trade regulations and tariffs on specific goods. Austria, seeking to protect its domestic industries, imposes high tariffs on certain Australian exports, which Australia perceives as unfair and detrimental to its economy. Diplomatic negotiations fail to resolve the issue, leading to a breakdown in relations and an escalating war of words.

As the situation intensifies, diplomatic channels give way to military mobilizations. Both countries begin fortifying their borders and deploying troops to key strategic positions. The international community, alarmed by the mounting tensions, calls for a peaceful resolution and urges both sides to engage in dialogue. However, the war drums continue to beat as nationalist sentiments and public pressure fuel the conflict.

The war itself unfolds in different theaters. Austria, located in the heart of Europe, has the advantage of being closer to its allies and established military infrastructure. Its forces launch an offensive campaign, aiming to push into Australian territory. The Austrian military, known for its strategic planning and disciplined soldiers, launches coordinated attacks on key Australian positions.

Australia, on the other hand, faces the logistical challenge of fighting a war thousands of miles away from its home base. The Australian forces focus on defense and guerilla tactics, taking advantage of their knowledge of the terrain and deploying special forces to disrupt Austrian supply lines and communication networks. Australia's military, renowned for its resourcefulness and adaptability, puts up a fierce resistance.

The war takes a toll on both nations, with significant loss of life and destruction of infrastructure. The conflict also draws in international powers, with neighboring countries and global superpowers taking sides or attempting to broker peace. Diplomatic efforts continue behind the scenes, with mediators working to find a resolution that will end the hostilities.

After a prolonged and costly war, both Austria and Australia realize the devastating consequences and the futility of continuing the conflict. International pressure, coupled with war-weariness among their populations, prompts the two nations to return to the negotiating table. A ceasefire is eventually declared, leading to a series of peace talks.

The peace negotiations focus on resolving the underlying issues that sparked the conflict, including trade disputes and economic imbalances. Both Austria and Australia agree to reassess their trade policies and work towards a fair and mutually beneficial arrangement. Additionally, efforts are made to rebuild trust and establish diplomatic channels to prevent future misunderstandings from escalating into armed conflict.

Ultimately, the war between Austria and Australia serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the importance of diplomacy, compromise, and understanding in resolving disputes between nations. The conflict serves as a catalyst for renewed efforts towards international cooperation and the pursuit of peaceful resolutions in the face of adversity.

A West Australian Road Trip Adventure

The WA Government, through Tourism WA, has once again teamed up with Rhythm and media agency Initiative to deliver the second iteration of

‘Drive the Dream’

, a tourism campaign featuring West Australian-born Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo, that launches in Australia and Singapore ahead of the Formula 1 Grand Prix this weekend.

‘Drive the Dream’ invites travellers to leave the everyday behind, hit the open road and connect with the unspoilt beauty of Western Australia through the diverse road trip itineraries that make the state the ultimate self-drive holiday destination.

An epic journey of reconnection and adventure, the campaign’s cinematic short film captures Ricciardo and his best mate Blake on a road trip from Perth/Boorloo through the Margaret River Region and beyond, along the South West Nature and Wine Drive.

The campaign has launched domestically across Australia and in Singapore to coincide with and leverage the Singapore F1 Grand Prix this weekend.

The short film has been translated into eight different languages and will continue to rollout in WA’s key international markets over the next 12 months.

The launch includes a global partnership with Skyscanner, Qantas Hotels and Holidays within interstate markets and C-Trip in China to encourage travel bookings to Western Australia.

This is the second instalment of the highly successful 2023 Drive the Dream global campaign, which saw Ricciardo and Blake travel along the Coral Coast Highway from Perth to Exmouth/Warnangoora.

‘Drive the Dream’ is an experience-led campaign that forms part of the state’s highly acclaimed global destination brand ‘Walking On A Dream’.

Since the launch of Walking On A Dream in September 2022, the brand has delivered an additional 255,000 visitors, with an estimated economic impact of $424 million.

China’s list of visa-free countries expanded

China’s visa-free travel list continues to grow, with five more European countries added to the list.

Citizens of Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Slovakia and Finland have been granted visa-free entry to the Asian country.

Tourists from these countries as well as South Korea will be able to enter China without visas from November 8, 2024 to December 31, 2025.

This comes after the addition of Norway was announced in September and Cyprus, Denmark, Greece, Greece, Portugal and Slovenia in October. This brings the total number of European countries granted visa-free access to 24. In July, travellers from Poland, Australia and New Zealand were also granted unrestricted entry to China until the end of 2025.

The scheme was announced in phases from the beginning of 2024, and various European countries and Malaysia have also been granted visa-free access. The programme aims to attract more people to China for business and tourism purposes, and to promote exchanges between Chinese citizens and foreigners.

The full list of European countries now includes Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Switzerland. Tourists from these countries will be allowed to enter China for short stays without a visa until the end of next year.

The aim is to “promote the qualitative development of exchanges between Chinese and foreign personnel and open up the outside world at a high level,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said at a briefing on the initial announcement in November. Under the trial programme, visa-free entry will be granted for up to 15 days.

China’s international travel recovery continues

According to statistics, the country recorded 35.5 million foreign tourists in 2023, up from 97.7 million before the pandemic. Experts estimate that in the three years that the country was closed to the outside world due to the pandemic, the loss of revenue due to the lack of tourists totalled $362bn.The target for 2024 is to reach a level of 50 per cent of total entry in 2019.

Europe is recovering faster than some other markets, according to travel websites. Trip.com statistics show that growth in total bookings from Europe to China is up more than 6 times in 2023 compared to 2022 and almost 29% compared to 2019. Germany and the UK are in the top 10 most active inbound markets. Shanghai remains China’s most popular destination for Europeans, followed by Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Encouraging entry works. According to Trip.com, the most recent holiday – the Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year, which starts at the end of January and lasts officially 15 days but actually a whole month – saw twice as many tourists from the named 11 European countries travelling to China as in 2019.

China is also doing a lot to facilitate payments, infrastructure development. But according to experts, while the country has made significant strides in developing advanced technology and transport infrastructure for domestic travel, foreign tourists often face problems travelling around the country. For example, to book seats on high-speed trains or museum tickets, it is necessary to use the local WeChat service.

Many establishments accept WeChat Pay or AliPay exclusively, putting foreign travellers in a difficult position if they rely solely on cash or credit cards. And many hotels in China are not allowed to accept foreign travellers at all.

Whether you're traveling for leisure, business, or education, having the right visa ensures a hassle-free experience. From gathering the necessary documents to understanding processing times, this guide will equip you with everything you need to know to secure your Brazil visa and enjoy your trip without any setbacks.

Here are some Brazil Visa Guides: Everything You Need to Know for Your Trip

What is a visa for Brazil?

A Brazil visa allows a traveler to enter, stay, and engage in specific activities in Brazil. Requirements vary based on the traveler's nationality, with different policies and regulations for each country.

Rio's Rendezvous: Important Brazil travel visa categories

Below is a summary of the various visa categories that Brazil offers:

1. Visitor Visa (VIVIS): intended for foreign visitors to Brazil for business, tourism, transit, or engagement in cultural, athletic, or educational exchanges. This visa, which has a maximum 3-month validity period, forbids engaging in paid activities in Brazil.

2. Diplomatic Visa: Granted to foreign diplomats and officials while they are on official business, serving as representatives of their home countries or foreign organizations. Both short-term and long-term assignments in Brazil are covered; furthermore, this ensures comprehensive support for various travel needs.

3. Official Visa: For foreign administrative staff members who are temporarily or permanently assigned to official missions on behalf of foreign governments or international organizations. Foreign nationals, provided that their governments have given their official approval, are also covered.

4. Courtesy Visa: Intended for foreign dignitaries and officials, along with their families and domestic staff, who are visiting non-officially. It also includes international athletes and artists who are taking part in charitable cultural events. Additionally, their participation helps promote goodwill and community engagement.

5. Temporary Visa (VITEM): This is a wide category that includes visas for teaching, research, humanitarian aid, medical care, students, paid work, working vacations (under certain bilateral treaties), religious ministers, volunteers, investors, major contributions to the arts, sports, technology, or science, family reunions, artistic or athletic endeavors, and medical training.

Brazil's regulations regarding tourist visas

Brazil has changed its tourist visa regulations in recent years, which affects visitors from a number of nations.

Changes to visa policies: Three previously visa-exempt countries now require a tourist visa, according to the Brazilian government. Starting January 10, 2024, citizens of the US, Canada, and Australia must apply online for a Brazil eVisa to enter the country. Citizens of Japan will remain exempt from visa requirements due to a reciprocal agreement.

General entry requirements: Passports must have one blank page for the entry stamp and be valid on the entry date into Brazil. While there are no vaccination requirements, visitors should check Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for the latest health advisories. Any cash over 10,000 Brazilian reals (BR) must be declared upon entry and departure.

Special considerations for minors: Brazilian law requires travel permissions for minors who are Brazilian citizens, including dual nationals, to prevent child abduction. If a minor is traveling without both parents, they must, therefore, have a copy of their birth certificate or annotated Brazilian passport. Additionally, they need authorization letters from each absent parent.

Conclusion

Obtaining a Brazil visa is an important step for a smooth trip to this vibrant country. Understanding the types of visas and the application process ensures your documents are in order. This preparation helps avoid delays upon arrival, allowing you to enjoy Brazil's rich culture and stunning landscapes.

How Tourists Make Australia RICH! Australia’s Economic Gamble!

The foundation of the Australian economy is based on resilience. In the wake of the pandemic, the Australian economy has rebounded rapidly and it is still the 14th-largest economy in the world in terms of nominal GDP (gross domestic product). Australia is also the 24th-largest goods importer and the 21st-largest goods exporter. With a large and growing consumer market and an abundance of natural resources, Australia has a fairly stable economic environment.

Manufacturing Sector

Even though Australia was one of the manufacturing giants during the 1960s with companies like Ford, Holden, Mitsubishi, and Toyota having their hubs in the country, the manufacturing GDP of the country has declined since then

Agricultural Sector

Australia has a lush tapestry of natural resources, ideal for agriculture and irrigation. Even the locals are spoiled with farm fresh produce. Fishing and forestry in Australia is also a booming industry which not only contributes to the nation’s GDP and provides employment but also earns huge sums of revenue from exports.

Australia generated $60.8 billion in direct tourism gross domestic product (GDP) in the financial year 2018–19. It also made up 5% of the total workforce in the country in the same year by employing over 666,000 Australians. Before the pandemic hit in 2019, it was recorded that on an average, Australians travelled four times a year domestically. One in every eight businesses across the country was in the tourism businesses and one in twelve Australians were employed in the tourism sector in 2018-19. That’s not all folks! There was also a massive growth in the number of tourists from countries like India and China. No wonder the tourism sector attracted the riches. Unfortunately, something changed for the worse. The Covid 19 pandemic left the tourism sector gasping for air. But how has COVID affected tourism in Australia?

Global Aircraft Landing Gear Analysis by Size, Share, Growth, Trends, Opportunities and Forecast (2024-2032)

Introduction:

The Aircraft landing gear refers to the undercarriage of an aircraft, which is used for landing, take-off, and taxing while supporting the weight. It also helps the aircraft to stand when it is not flying and hold the aircraft in its position. The respective wheeled landing gears are retractable when the aircraft is flying in order to reduce the air drag created on the aircraft. These landing gears are of a robust nature and absorb the shock of aircraft weight when they land on the runway. Considering the rising demand for both commercial as well as military aircraft across the globe the demand for landing gear is rising.

According to a new report by Univdatos Market Insights, Aircraft Landing Gear are expected to reach USD Million in 2032 by growing at a CAGR of 4.19%. The rising demand for Aircraft Landing Gear is due to the key factor that has contributed to the growth is the demand for commercial and military aircraft.

Rising Demand for New Military Aircraft:

With the rising geopolitical tensions and improvement in air warfare technologies, there is a growing need for advanced 4.5 and 5th generation aircraft across the leading militaries such as the US, China, Russia, India, Indonesia, France, etc. This demand has also been supported by the boost in the defense budget through higher capital budget allocation. Some of the recent developments that have been observed for the large-scale military jets are as follows:

In 2023, the Defense Acquisition Council of India announced the purchase of 97 additional Tejas fighter jets and 156 Prachand attack helicopters. Both aircraft are domestically produced in India and would cost approximately USD 13 billion.

In January 2024, the government of France announced the purchase of an additional 42 upgraded Rafale Jets with a total cost of USD 5.5 billion. The respective aircraft will be delivered between 2027 to 2032.

For More Detailed Analysis in PDF Format, Visit- https://univdatos.com/report/aircraft-landing-gear-market/get-a-free-sample-form.php?product_id=63011

Considering the rising demand for military jets across the globe, the demand for OEM-based aircraft landing gears would increase. Additionally, military jets also face extreme climatic and operational environments, which leads to early wear and tear of components, further leading to support the aftermarket demand for landing gears in the long run.

Developments in Commercial Aviation:

The rapid growing demand for budget air travel among the middle-class population has encouraged the demand for low-cost carriers across the globe. Some of the countries, such as India, Indonesia, the US, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, etc., with their rapidly increasing population, have instigated demand for low-cost carriers for applications such as tourism, business travel, study travel, etc. The prices of air travel by low-cost carriers are considerably lower than those of mainline flights due to the focus of the airlines on keeping operational costs in check.

Furthermore, the main reason for the LCC's lowered prices is the availability of add-on services, which can only be availed by customers with extra payment on demand. This type of service has helped the segment hold a dominant position in many of the growing economies, further supporting the aviation industry's expenditure growth and expansion for new aircraft.

Future Prospects and Opportunities:

One of the key factors that has supported the rise of the aircraft landing gear market is that the expansion of the commercial aviation industry requires new aircraft to expand their operations. For instance, according to Boeing Corporation, between 2023-2042, a total number of 32,420 narrowbody aircraft would be delivered. Of this, nearly 40% would be used for low-cost carrier operations across the globe. It is a significant number of commercial jets that would be crucial for the upcoming surge in the demand for landing gear for aircraft.

In another instance, in 2023, Scoot, a Singapore-based airline, announced its plans to purchase nine brand-new E190-E2 regional jets. The respective jets will be added to the fleet in March 2024.

Considering the rising demand for commercial jets and orders being placed by the leading airlines across the globe, the demand for new aircraft landing gear among the aircraft manufacturers is anticipated to rise significantly in the forthcoming years, i.e., 2024-2032. 

Technological Innovation:

The overhauling in commercial and military is another crucial sector where the demand for fighter jets, cargo aircraft, and helicopters has extensively grown. Many of the leading countries, such as China, India, the US, etc., have recently announced their plans to induct a significant number of new air platforms to strengthen their air power.

The existing fleet of aircraft among the leading countries also fulfils a high replacement demand for aircraft landing gear. According to Sofema Aviation Services, a set of landing gears for an aircraft costs between USD 1.8 million and USD 7 million (for smaller to widebody aircraft), and a typical overhaul requires at least 10 years to complete.

Considering the existing military aircraft fleets of the leading countries worldwide, the aircraft landing gear market would also require significant growth. With the growing need for overhaul and maintenance in the aviation industry, the demand for Aircraft Landing Gear in this particular category is anticipated to find rapid growth, subsequently improving its market in the coming years.

Conclusion:

The Global Aircraft Landing Gear market is experiencing a transformative phase driven by technological advancements, sustainability space operations, digitalization, market dynamics, and implementation of government policies. Stakeholders across the industry are embracing these trends to enhance operational efficiency, integrating landing gears for overhaul and maintenance purposes, etc. As aircraft landing gears continue to play a strategic role in improving the readiness of fleet operations, staying abreast of these trends and embracing innovation will be crucial for the Global Aircraft Landing Gear market.

In conclusion, the Global Aircraft Landing Gear market is poised for continued growth and innovation driven by economic expansion, aircraft developments, technological advancements, and sustainable practices. The increasing demand for air travel and expanding air prowess, among the countries and in the aviation industry, underscores the pivotal role of Aircraft Landing Gear across the globe.
