Tourism in Brazil

The last ten years the Brazilian government attaches great importance to the tourism industry as the most important sectors of the economy. Of particular importance in this industry has an international tourism.

Brazil, which has a huge, perhaps the world's largest tourism potential, has long been virtually closed country. It was only after the transfer of military power and the transition to democratic rule in the early 90s of last century, in Brazil, began the development of international tourism.


Economic problems and underdevelopment throughout the tourism infrastructure in Brazil is not particularly conducive to the rapid development of international tourism. A big obstacle is also a language barrier. In Brazil, the Brazilian dialect spoken in Portuguese and Brazilians are very few could speak English or other European languages. This is a very big obstacle, and significantly worsens the situation in the field of tourism service.

If you have to add the language barrier Brazilian mentality, these two phenomena often lead to misunderstandings and, at times, and the frustration of paying travel services provided. We must also take into account the fact that Brazil is quite a considerable distance from the main countries - suppliers of tourists - Europe and the U.S., especially from Russia.

But almost all the major European countries and the U.S. have their own airline with direct flights to almost all regions of Brazil. Russian tourists to visit Brazil have to use, basically, four airlines - France, Germany, Spain and the UK. All flights with transfers and connecting flights as well as limited access to the regions of Brazil. Basically, you can fly from Moscow to Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and in the capital - the city of Brasilia.

All flights to Brazil are long and tedious - if the difference between connecting flights for about two hours, the flight together with a transfer takes about 18 hours. We must take into consideration the time of landing, as well as the time after arrival at destination: border, customs, waiting for luggage, etc. In general, the flight even in business class is very tiring.

It is better to use the company "Air France", with all its shortcomings on the ground (see "Flying Menagerie" at number 34 of the journal "Problems of local government" - go), in the air it has advantages, because previously, on the Internet, you can choose the place in the plane and the shortest "connection time". It is true that a plane flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, she had lost over the Atlantic last year, but this is exceptional and unfortunate incident. It is hoped that the "Air France" - a very serious airline, and it will draw the appropriate conclusions for greater safety.

In general, many different disadvantages for Russian tourists wishing to visit Brazil, in addition, there are not so cheap. Yet Brazil is worth a visit - it's beautiful in their own country.
