Description
In 1840 the first page of the history of Agência Abreu is written. Its protagonist is Bernardo Luis Vieira de Abreu, born in Rossas, Vieira do Minho. With reference to the movement of emigrants from the north of Portugal and Galicia, destined especially to Brazil, Bernardo de Abreu established that year, in the city of Porto, at Rua do Loureiro. The first travel agency in the world to open public service offices was born there. Soon, the Abreu Agency gained relevance as a service provider that was very diligent in its different competencies, initially involving the handling of passports and emigration visas, alongside the sale of train tickets to Lisbon and a ship to South America. Over the years, destinations have expanded to Africa, North America and Europe.
In the 1950s, the portfolio of products and services increased with European Circuits and Group Travel - still today two icons in the programming of Agência Abreu.
With references to freight transport agency to Brazil and Africa as early as 1895, it is in 1957 that the company's activity becomes part of the Cargo sector, which presently assumes a key role within the Abreu Group, as important as Leisure Travel and Business Travel, in addition to the Groups, Congresses and Incentives areas.
