The Brazilian economy's early and strong recovery after the global economic downturn has attracted many foreign investors, leading to an increase in international tourist arrivals in 2011 to 5.38 million. The main drivers that attracted tourists to Brazil during the review period included government initiatives, infrastructural improvements, a growing middle-class population, and the increasing popularity of leisure travel.

With Brazil hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016, the country is set to attract increasing foreign interest. The Brazilian Ministry of Tourism has developed an international tourism plan, Plano Aquarela 2020, which sets out international tourism goals that Brazil intends to achieve by 2020. With government initiatives and upcoming international sporting events, travel and tourism is poised for healthy growth over the forecast period.
