Brazil has fascinated foreign travellers for almost half a century with its offerings of beautiful white sands, stunning natural beauty and some of the world's most colorful and exiciting cities. Indeed, the data collected shows that the overall trend in tourism is positive, with Business Monitor International (BMI) forecasting a 25% increase in tourist arrivals to Brazil between now and 2016.
Of course, both airlines and hoteliers will feel the effects of heightened tourist arrivals with Brazil hosting both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and then the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, pulling in visitors from every corner of the planet and helping put Brazil on the map as a perfect holiday as well as a top property and land investment destination.
With this in mind, the demand for home ownership in Brazil is booming with R$34 billion of government funds being invested into the construction of social housing across the country under the Minha Casa Minha Vida ( My House My Life) Scheme . However, supply still fails to meet demand, with a current 7 million housing deficit in Brazil with many reports stating that there is due to be a 20% rise in the country's population over the next 10 years.
