Riding on the back of the build-up to two major sporting events - the FIFA World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016 - Brazil has become one of the South America's leading beach and sports tourism destinations. New boutique hotels, luxury hotels and eco-lodges are popping up all over the country, from the seductive charms and gorgeous paradise beaches of Rio de Janeiro to deep into the Amazon - because travelling to Brazil is about lifestyle, culture, nature and adventure. But not only that - Owing to its potential to become a major player in the world economy, Brazil is also a business destination. Lavishly illustrated and with quotations from renowned authors, this book is an inspirational guide for the traveller in search of the latest trends, for the adventurous looking for ideas for their next journey, for the design savvy who wants cutting-edge accommodation, for interior designers and hoteliers looking for fresh inspiration, and for those who simply want to dream.
