Tourism in Brazil

Warm-up

Give me your thoughts on the Brazilian tourist industry – both internal tourism and for foreigners visiting Brazil.

There are a lot beautiful cities in brazil. In the last years Brazil have been doing a good job to promote the destinies and tourist places. For the brazil world cup I’m not sure if all the infra-structure will be prepared to receive people from all the world.

What do you think could be done to help grow Brazilian tourism

Investments from Governments, this is the main thing to grow Brazilian tourism.

Do you think Brazil will be ready for the world cup? Will it be a success in your opinion?
Probably not 100% ready, there are a lot of things to be done… stadiums, airports, hotels, transportations… but I think will be a success. Brazilian people are very excited for this event to do all the best.
