Love motels and converted ferries: Brazil gets creative to host COP30
No, it's not an old-fashioned TV show about police. That was Car 54. It's the upcoming United Nations climate summit, to be held in Belem, Brazil.The convention is expected to attract 60,000 visitors; Belem boasts only 18,000 beds — including the above-mentioned love motels. But, not to worry.
Lula [Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva] shrugged off the hotel crunch in a recent visit to Belem, suggesting those who cannot find accommodation should sleep "looking at the sky – it will be wonderful."
No room service but plenty of bugs, one imagines. And, hopefully, free. (Currently, rooms are averaging $1,500 per night.)
