2. Tourism and Economy:
The main products and services of the tourism sector in Brazil are
travel accommodation (hotels, hostels, camping, etc.),
transportation (air, rail, bus, ferry), restaurants and cafés, car rental,
travel retail (package
travel deals, excursions), local retail (souvenirs), and tourist attractions
(museums, national parks, zoos, etc.).
Brazil has the seventh largest economy by nominal GDP in the world,
and seventh largest by purchasing power parity. Important steps
taken since the 1990s toward fiscal sustainability, as well as
measures taken to open the economy, have significantly boosted the
country’s competitiveness fundamentals, providing a better
environment for private-sector development
3. How is Brazil operating
Sustainably:
All garbage is confined to the proper receptacles. Boats and buses must
have trash cans. Special care should be taken with plastic that is not
biodegradable. No littering of any kind should be tolerated
Tour operators collaborate with conservation organizations and
government agencies to find ways to improve Brazil’s environmental
programs.
Work closely with both the private sector and local authorities to plan and
manage tourism activities and flows in order to ensure equitable
development across different regions as well as the preservation of
biodiversity and the local cultural values.
All tour guides and rangers are fully equip with the knowledge of how to
preserve their land and maintain a healthy level of conservation which
they then share with the tourists and locals to keep a clean image.
