Tourism in Brazil is going through a phase of rapid growth thanks to substantial government investment, according to emerging real estate company Property Frontiers.

Interest from tourists is traditionally seen as an important supporting factor for real estate industries and a spokesperson for Property Frontiers said this is becoming increasingly evident in Brazil.

'Tourism in the country is increasing rapidly and in the first eight months of 2006, international tourist arrivals experienced a 4.5% growth from the same period of 2005,' she said.

The company representative explained that the Brazilian tourism industry has recently benefited from an injection of over $670m (£331m), much of which has been channelled into the north of the country.

'In the Natal region, the construction of the fourth largest airport in the world is underway and should bring in 5m travellers a year,' she added.

Brazil is accessible from many major European cities, with connections to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo available from London.
