Da Silva International is a global entertainment, sports, media, and travel company founded by Rui Da Silva, with business interests spanning destination concert travel, Christian music travel, sports media, youth sports broadcasting, radio and television production, and international event development.
For decades, Da Silva International and its affiliated divisions have created and operated distinctive consumer experiences at the intersection of music, sports, travel, faith-based programming, and media. From concert and celebrity travel in iconic destinations, to Christian music journeys in biblical locations, to AI-powered youth sports broadcasting, the company has built a diversified international platform serving audiences across North America and abroad.
A Legacy Built Across Entertainment, Media and Travel
Da Silva International was founded by entrepreneur Rui Da Silva, whose career has included the development of businesses in music, radio, television, travel, and sports. Over the years, he has built a group of companies focused on delivering unique live experiences, destination-based programming, sports-related content, and media ventures with international reach.
Among the company’s early successes was Icon Records, which was sold to Universal Music in 2006. Da Silva International also owned the Da Silva International Radio Network, which produced and distributed radio programming across Canada, including CMT’s Top 20, the number one country music radio program in Canada, along with additional music and sports radio programming. Prior to its sale, it was the largest independently owned radio network in Canada.
The company’s international footprint expanded further through Isola International, which moved its head office to Universal Studios in Los Angeles in 2008, reinforcing Da Silva International’s presence in the North American and international entertainment marketplace.
Today, Da Silva International’s principal operating divisions include CAST Tours, Christian Music Tours, Catholic Choir Tours, and SportsStream TV.
CAST Tours
CAST Tours is Da Silva International’s flagship international travel and events division, specializing in premium music, celebrity, sports, and fan-based travel experiences. CAST Tours develops and operates curated travel programs built around live performances, celebrity appearances, destination experiences, and cultural programming in some of the world’s most iconic locations.
The division has developed destination concert and entertainment travel experiences in Greece, Paris, Italy, India, Egypt, Israel, and other major international markets, creating programs that combine travel, performance, culture, and fan engagement.
CAST Tours has also maintained longstanding involvement in sports and sports-related travel, with programming and relationships connected to the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, and major college football, further reflecting the company’s broad reach across both the entertainment and sports sectors.
Christian Music Tours
Christian Music Tours is Da Silva International’s faith-based travel and events division, focused on Christian music travel, inspirational destination events, and spiritually themed group experiences. The division develops and operates programs built around Christian artists, worship experiences, biblical destinations, fellowship, and faith-centered cultural travel.
Christian Music Tours has created destination concert and worship travel concepts in locations including Israel, Greece, Egypt, and Italy, combining biblical history, sightseeing, worship, and live musical performances into immersive travel experiences for Christian audiences.
Catholic Choir Tours
A specialized division within Christian Music Tours, Catholic Choir Tours focuses on Catholic choir and faith-based performance travel, particularly to Italy and the Vatican. The division has developed choir journeys that include performances in Rome, Florence, and Venice, as well as opportunities for choirs to participate in papal and Vatican-related experiences where available.
Catholic Choir Tours operates as a distinct brand with its own dedicated website at CatholicChoirTours.com, while remaining part of the broader Da Silva International family of companies.
SportsStream TV
SportsStream TV is Da Silva International’s sports media and youth sports broadcasting division, and a leader in AI-assisted sports streaming technology. The company is one of the only aggregators of youth sports content, broadcasting youth sports games across North America and throughout India for local leagues, clubs, academies, and tournament organizers.
In partnership with Pixellot, SportsStream TV offers one of the world’s leading AI-automated, end-to-end live sports video, analytics, and streaming solutions for virtually any screen. The platform is designed to automatically produce and stream every game, transforming the way sporting events are captured, distributed, and consumed.
Pixellot’s AI-powered sports production technology automates virtually every aspect of broadcasting. Through advanced AI-assisted camera systems, games can be filmed, produced, livestreamed, and automatically edited into highlights without the need for a traditional production crew. Fixed or portable multi-array camera units work with patented auto-tracking software that follows the action, zooms in on key moments, and can automatically generate highlights and clips.
SportsStream TV’s platform supports the full production cycle — from AI-based sports production to multi-screen OTT delivery. Its integrated event and content management system allows operators to schedule events, manage livestreams, monitor broadcasts, and maintain a complete video content library in one centralized platform. In addition to live and on-demand streaming, the system offers analytics, coaching tools, automated highlights, and video management features designed to improve athlete development, fan engagement, and partner ROI.
The technology also dramatically lowers the cost of high-quality sports coverage, making professional-level game production accessible not only to elite organizations, but also to underserved sports properties such as women’s competitions, emerging leagues, local clubs, academies, school programs, and niche sports.
Through SportsStream TV, Da Silva International has expanded into the rapidly growing sectors of sports media, youth sports aggregation, AI-powered sports production, digital content distribution, coaching analytics, and streaming technology. The AI-assisted camera and streaming technology used by SportsStream TV, through its partnership with Pixellot, is also trusted by some of the world’s leading sports organizations, including NBA teams, Real Madrid, and other major football clubs and sports organizations worldwide.

Da Silva International continues to operate as a global platform spanning travel, live events, entertainment, Christian music travel, sports media, youth sports broadcasting, and digital content distribution. Under Rui Da Silva’s leadership, the company has consistently focused on identifying niche opportunities, building meaningful partnerships, and creating consumer experiences that bring together entertainment, sports, travel, faith-based programming, and media.
From concert travel overlooking the Acropolis in Athens, to Christian journeys through the Holy Land and Italy, to youth sports broadcasting powered by AI-assisted streaming technology, Da Silva International remains focused on creating distinctive experiences and developing innovative platforms on an international scale.
