In Brazil, travel agencies and tour operators commonly use 'roteiros' (routes/itineraries) when advertising package tours. The phrase 'estabelecer roteiros' is particularly prevalent in the tourism industry. In Portugal, 'itinerários' is preferred over 'roteiros'. Both cultures emphasize pre-planned itineraries for organized tourism, though in casual travel, Brazilians may be more flexible than the formal phrase suggests.
