Brazil at the weekend?
A growing number of people in the UK are choosing to take long-haul mini-breaks, new research has revealed.
In a trend which may be of benefit to those buying Brazilian property, Halifax reported that 3.7 million British holidaymakers flew 5.5 billion miles for such breaks in 2007.
The firm also found that one in ten people are planning to take a long-haul mini-break this year, representing a 35 per cent increase on 2007.
Paul Birkhead, senior manager of pricing and underwriting at Halifax Travel Insurance, said: "Better airline quality, the lure of winter sun, favourable exchange rates and cheaper long haul flights has created a boom in demand for long-haul mini-breaks."
Earlier this year, Tom Falcao, general manager of the tourist office of the Brazilian Embassy in London, said that the country offers "all kinds" of tourism.
People can take their families to the country’s beach resorts or enjoy the spas on offer in several areas of the country, he stated.
