In our world today there are quite a few tourist destinations that seem to make the list of must-visit places for both first timers as well as frequent visitors. As such, Brazil is considered to be one such country that is frequently on the list of top international destinations. It is the largest country in both South America and Latin America and is the fifth largest country worldwide in terms of area. One of the fastest growing sectors of Brazil is the travel and tourism market which is the key to economic development in various regions within the country. In 2010 tourism revenue was estimated at $6 billion which indicates a clear recovery from the economic recession of 2008/2009.


Rio de Janeiro Brazil PicBrazilian tourism offers numerous options for visiting tourists such as eco-tourism, contemporary tourism, cultural tourism, and heritage tourism. Some of the more popular attractions include the Amazon Rain Forests, its beaches, and vibrant cities such as Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro that attract millions of visitors' each year. In 2011, 5 million international tourists visited Brazil. In 2012, tourism revenue was approximately $7 billion causing it to rank as a top tourist destination for guests visiting South America as well. The economic impact of 2014 Soccer World Cup is estimated to reach $180 billion by the year 2019.

In 2014, the year of the Football (Soccer) World Cup, Brazil received 6.4 million foreign tourists, which translates to a 10.6% increase over the previous year in 2013. That increase broke the record of international visitor arrivals by adding 600,000 more tourists. Brazilian officials project a crowd of 350,000 to 500,000 tourists will flock to Rio de Janeiro this August for the 2016 summer Olympics in spite of early indicators that the real numbers will be somewhat lower. Travel industry insiders state that a two-year recession, ongoing political crisis, and the threat of the infamous Zika virus will take a toll on tourists' enthusiasm.

The company known as Brazil Nuts is one of outside tour operators that is based in the United States.

In addition, they have adapted to new trends in tourism to include packages for adventure, culture and heritage, and eco-tourism.
