BRAZIL TRAVEL CIRCUITS AND CITY PACKAGES
In the current globalization scenario, travel industry has been recording high growth rates worldwide. In Brazil, tour &
travel is a booming industry, thanks to our rich nature, large territorial area, high number of coastal cities with
beautiful beaches and rich historical-cultural heritage. This allows for the creation of several tour & travel modes,
including adventure sports, which characterize the so-called ecotourism. These natural and cultural attractions make
Brazil a special country, whose cultural heritage may be enjoyed by local and foreign visitors, taking into account
environmental protection, new findings and cultural exchange. That’s what Brazil is all about, and a lot more.
