We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Congratulations on being the first city in the Americas to see the sunrise! Too bad that just means you get to watch disappointment arrive before the rest of Brazil does. Your claim to fame is literally being the most eastern point, which is like bragging about being the first person to show up to a party nobody wants to attend.
Sure, 96 percent of tourists always come back - but that's because they forgot their dignity the first time and need to retrieve it. When your biggest selling point is that people need multiple attempts to figure out what they came for, that's not loyalty, that's confusion.
Your claim as the second greenest city in the world is basically a brochure line you've been repeating since the Earth Summit. Imagine being so desperate for attention that you turn a patch of forest into a personality at an environmental conference. Even your trees are embarrassed.
A saxophonist performs Ravel's 'Bolero' from a boat at sunset each day, which sounds magical until you realize it's the same song EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Nothing says 'we peaked creatively in the 1920s' like turning a tourist attraction into musical Groundhog Day.
