Being the fifth largest country in the world, Brazil has enormous potential for tourism. Until recently this was largely untapped, but when the new government took office, it immediately created a Ministry of Tourism for the first time; tourism is now firmly on the agenda. Since this time, hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in the country and with the target to increase tourism over the next few years, where better for an overseas property investment and holiday retreat than Brazil.

Brazil is currently classed as an emerging market with some analysts anticipating the Brazil property market to hit an upward trend in the near future. As it stands currently, the price of Brazil properties is relatively low. There is presently a housing shortage in the country and shrewd investors might turn this to their advantage. By investing in residential projects, foreign investors will not only have a huge market of locals ready to buy into their developments, but they will be providing housing to millions of people who would love to have their own place, but cannot due to a lack of Brazil property development initiatives.
