Tourism & Travel
Portuguese term or phrase: da vez
This is from a travel magazine. I think this is a slang phrase and I'm not quite catching the idea:

Viajar é o verbo da vez entre os brasileiros, e parece ser um hábito que veio para ficar. É o que nós vemos percebendo nos últimos projetos que estudamos os brasileiros.
