Because it is very easy to get here.

Brazil is served by most international airlines. There are dozens of daily flights, full of tourists coming from every corner of the world. Those who most frequently seek out our country for their holidays are the Argentinians, the Americans and the Germans. However, with the expansion in the number of international airlines also operating here, visitors from other countries are also getting interested in visiting us, according to recent surveys. These include Uruguay, Portugal, France, Italy, and most of our neighbouring countries in Latin America.

This increased international interest in Brazil can be observed through the numbers recorded for the first quarter of 2005, which point to the arrival of approximately 137 thousand foreign tourists, on charter flights. This represents a growth of 35.46% in comparison to the same period of the previous year. Data from Infraero (Brazilian Company for Airport Infrastructure) reveal that in March 2005, this percentage increase was even greater, totalling 43.03% - 37,410 tourists, compared to 25,966 in March of last year.

According to Infraero, this trend in the growth of the number of charter flights can also be noted in some regions of the country, especially Rio de Janeiro. This makes it even easier to travel from the larger Brazilian cities to any state in the country. And this air infrastructure does not stop growing. In 2004 alone, 8 expansion jobs were completed, not to mention the constant modernization of older airports throughout the entire country.
