Figures from the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) show that in 2008, Brazil’s tourism industry rose to 13th position in the world in terms of the economic activity it generates.
It also predicts the sector will expand at an average annual rate of 4.5% between 2010 and 2019 allowing for a slight contraction in 2009 due to the global economic downturn.
It is the North East of this huge country that is drawing increased interest from visitors; the State of Rio Grande do Norte and especially resorts near to the city of Natal.
Around 10 years ago the Brazilian Government in this region initiated a large public investment programme of over 670 million dollars in transport, environment, infrastructures and tourism management bodies. The success has resulted in phase 2, a 400 million dollars investment some of which has been allocated to building the massive new airport, San Gonzalvo, which will be the 4th largest in the world in 2010 when it is scheduled to open. It will certainly be needed following an estimated 134% increase in visitors to Brazil since 2004.
“Brazil is a fascinating country”, says Pat Creevy, MD at Charles Oliver, specialists in high end homes around the world. “Natal is a coastal city where 1.7 million Brazilians spend their holiday, together with thousands of British.
This is why we are delighted to be marketing such an exceptional development of beautiful holiday homes at Laguna Beach an exclusive coastal resort just 25 minutes from Natal city and International Airport. We feel that the superior homes in their incomparably beautiful location will be of immense interest”.
Laguna Beach sits on the white sandy beach backed by natural countryside. It offers the glamour and excitement of close proximity to a major city yet its quiet, lay back charm is a haven for those seeking a select retreat in the finest of locations.
Certainly the prices are attractive with apartments starting from just £66,500.
There is a wide price range so those looking for a larger more impressive property may prefer an exclusive beach bungalow where three bedroom, three en-suite bathroom properties range from approx £214,000 to £221,000.
