1. Why Visit Brazil?
Brazil is becoming a popular place for investors and tourists alike. With an average annual
increase in GDP of 5%, this fast-growing economy is set to become one of the top five world
powers in the coming decades. Brazil's 100 million workers have jobs in services (67% of GDP),
the industrial sector (27.5% of GDP) and agriculture (5% of GDP but it employs 10% of the
working population).
Brazil has a large industrial sector, which allows it to export products all over the world, from
steel, cars, petrochemicals to aircraft parts and computers. It became self-sufficient in oil in 2007
and is the world leader in hydro-electric power. It is trying hard to reduce its reliance on oil.
Brazil has the world's largest cattle herd of 190 million, which accounts for over $1 billion USD
in export revenues. Companies such as First Choice Properties Brazil are reporting an
increase in the number of property investors in Brazil too.
With the Olympics being held in Rio in 2016 and the World Cup due to arrive in the country
next year, there are plenty of reasons to visit Brazil. It is home to the world's largest waterfall,
Angel Falls. It has hundreds of miles of beaches due to Brazil's easterly position in the South
American continent. The Amazon rainforest is a huge tourist attraction, as is Rio itself?
Particularly during carnival season. First Choice Properties Brazil and other companies report
that safety for tourists has improved dramatically as the country was recently ranked 75th in the
world safety ratings, up from 128th place in 2008.

2. Brazil is becoming easier to fly to, with many direct flights from the USA and Europe. The
infrastructure is improving, as are public transport services, so crossing over from other South
American countries is becoming straightforward too.
Global demand for natural resources and agricultural needs has kept Brazil very stable though
the recent economic turmoil coupled with the fact that Brazil is almost self-sufficient in its oil
supply.
Currently an increasing amount of the world's manufacturing industries are relocating to Brazil
and so it is exporting both its natural and manufactured trades all over the world securing itself
as one of the world's next great superpowers . Recently some of the corporate giants such as the
Marriot Hotel group and the Microsoft Corporation been pouring money into Brazil and in 2008
Brazil finally secured itself after years of constant growth with international credit agencies as
investment grade status and passed the UK and many other European countries to become the
world's 6th largest economy and to become a global economic superpower.
