Record tourism figures boost property investment potential
Figures from the Brazilian Tourism Ministry showed that the country welcomed a record 5.4 million tourists in 2011. This represents a 5.3 per cent increase on 2010 ââ¬â and the visitors are coming from all around the world.
Visitors from South America increased from 2.38 million to 2.63 million in 2011 with a 13.9 per cent increase in visitors from neighbouring Argentina alone.
Investment International reports that ââ¬ËBrazil's wealth of cultural, gastronomic and environmental attractions also drew visitors from all over the worldââ¬â¢. Russian tourists rose by over 40 per cent, Chinese visitors were up by almost half and Indian visitors to the country rose by 14 per cent in 2011.
Brazil is an increasingly popular place for tourists and these numbers are only set to increase as the World Cup and Olympics arrive in the country in the next four years.
Visitors from Europe were also up in 2011, with 1.62 million European tourists heading to the beautiful country. And, of course, more tourists means more property rental and investment opportunities.
With a wide choice of property, from beachside villas to city centre apartments and increasing local demand for homes, thereââ¬â¢s really never been a better time to buy property in Brazil.ââ¬Â
