New deal to expand Brazil’s tourist market
A new agreement has been signed this week between the Brazilian Institute of Gems and Precious Metals (IBGM) and the Ministry of Tourism to expand the nation’s tourist market.
The deal has been clinched in a bid to establish tourist routes in the gems, jewels and precious stone circuits in the state of Minas Gerais and Rio Grande do Sul.
Furthermore, the two bodies hope that they will attract foreigners connected to the gems and precious stones sector into the area as well as geologists and museum representatives, reports Brazilian Arab news agency ANBA.
A consultant at the IBGM, Marcelo Soares, told ANBA: "What needs to be done there is preparation of the mines and mining grounds to receive the tourists.
"Other states that also have mines in Potential, like Bahia and Pará, should be analysed in the near future."
Earlier this week property expert Felipe Cavalcante, present of The Association for the Real Estate and Tourism Development in north-east Brazil, revealed that 97 per cent of international tourists that visit Brazil return.
