As COP30 approaches, Belém is preparing to welcome thousands of participants with a robust accommodation structure. The city currently offers 36,015 beds, including hotels, vacation rentals, and even cruise ships. Of these, 14,000 beds are in the capital's hotel network — while others are in the metropolitan region, covering cities such as Ananindeua, Barcarena, and Castanhal.

Vacation rentals, primarily through the Airbnb platform, account for the largest share of available accommodation, with 15,256 beds. Cruise ships, contracted by Brasil's federal government, account for 6,000. In addition, 9,877 beds are in development, including new hotels (such as the Vila Líderes, Tivoli and Vila Galé chains), schools converted into hostels, military lodgings — and religious spaces. 

Valter Correia, COP30 extraordinary secretary, emphasized that the increase in available accommodation for participants at the Climate Conference in November is the result of efforts by the federal and local governments and the hotel chain.

"It is crucial that these and other initiatives are being developed. Through cooperation with the hotel chain, we have made significant progress in what we believe we can do together and by mutual agreement, within a preventive logic, to make one of the best COPs ever possible," said Correia.

With the confirmation of new real estate developments and an increase in vacation rentals geared towards COP30, Belém should surpass the 50,000-bed mark by November, reinforcing its capacity to receive negotiators and visitors from all over the world.

In addition, in the coming weeks, the Brazilian government will launch a web platform to manage bed reservations and monitor prices, providing greater security for COP30 participants. The model has been adopted for several years by the UNFCCC (United Nations Climate Secretariat) for holding COPs.
