Brazil received 5.6 million foreign tourists annually. Domestic tourism, only Brazilians, representing 66 million people. The difference is huge!

Who moves the tourism industry in Brazil are Brazilians themselves.

I can say with certainty that Brazil is a country self-sufficient.

@1 Excellent idea. First time round, Brazilians pay for all the facilities. Second time around, Brazilians pay for them all again. Lovely! Ever heard of television? I'll be able to watch what I want, when I want. Unlike the poor saps that pay to go there. Who in their right mind would pay to go to Brazil? Or anywhere else in latam?

Whatever it might be that you have done to keep conq from wanting to travel to Brasil.
I think it's your duty, as a responsable neighbour and good people in general, to pass that recipe to us others, so we too can implement the changes that would assure us him bloody staying away.
