After the reality check of part 1, now it’s time to indulge in the wondrous sights that a recent trip to Brazil offered up. Let’s go straight to some of the Biggies…
And how about some birds?
And other intriguing creatures…
Despite these treasures on offer, international (and even domestic) tourism won’t be on the radar of government officials looking at what makes the economy buzz. Whereas tourism contributes close to 20% of GDP in Greece, in Brazil, it’s closer to 3%. And there’s a relatively low number of international tourists coming in – 6.4m in 2019 – compare that to the 90m who visited France. But perhaps that’s for the better as more tourists would require more infrastructure, in particular proper roads to reach the beauty spots, and that would make it easier for the bad (see part 1) as well as the good.
But though roads might not be smooth, there was definitely no shortage of food options on offer. Buffets seem to be the norm and no worries if you’ve got a dietary requirement. A feast for all the senses.
