About Brazil



    Brazil, the fifth largest country in the world is a peaceful and democratic republic with over seven-thousand kilometers of sandy palmed beaches. It takes no imagination to see why Brazil's spectacular and diverse coastline has become a Mecca for water sports enthusiasts and increasingly for divers exploring the delights of the crystal clear water. A stable economy with future prospects of GDP increases and a competitive currency have enhanced the investment climate.
    Tourism in Brazil increased by ten per cent in the first half of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, with 3.4 million foreign tourists contributing $1.8 billion to the economy. In the course of realising its massive untapped tourism potential, Brazil is taking steps to foster growth by committing to opening up the country via state-of-the-art airports in Natal and Maceio. Investment in the infrastructure is also helping Brazil compete for international tourism. With flights as little as £180 return, overseas visitors are on the increase, attracted by thousands of kilometres of beaches, over 300 days of sunshine per year and stunning natural scenery.
   The north-east enjoys a year-round tropical climate with an average temperature of 27ºC and, according to a NASA study, the purest air in the world.  Already $670 million has been dedicated to improve the infrastructure of the north-east so that this beautiful region, already a popular holiday spot for wealthy Brazilians, can cope with the dramatically increased numbers of tourists. With the assistance of the additional $400 million pledged for Natal’s new airport, Sao Gonzalo del Amarante, is being constructed in the expectation of handling five million passengers in 2009.
