Brazil Property News: Luxury tourism train ready to roll in Brazil




20th February 2008 09:52


A luxury tourism train in Brazil is at the platform and getting ready to leave the station with its first passengers.

The Great Brazil Express is being billed as the "first luxury train" in Brazil and will begin operating in April this year in the state of Parana.

It will travel over 500 kilometres in the state and is predicted to attract 2,100 foreign tourists per year, helping Brazil attract more "luxury tourists".

Tourism minister for Brazil, Marta Suplicy, said: "We are now taking an important step for the luxury tourism sector in Brazil.

"Luxury tourism is a niche that brings many resources to the country. A family in this profile that spends 13 days in Brazil may spend up to $50,000 (£25,000)."

Marta added that while the global annual rate of growth of tourism is 6.2 per cent a year, in the luxury tourism sector this level is over ten per cent.

Earlier this week, the Brazilian institute for tourism, Embratur, revealed that over one million tourists visited the region of Foz Do Iguacu in 2007.

Foz Do Iguacu was named a Natural World Human Heritage site in 1986 and has between 150 and 300 waterfalls that reach up to 236 feet in height, making a semi-circle 1.67 miles wide.
