Embratur has created a new body, The Discover Brazil to attract tourists from Mexico and the new promotional campaign will begin from June. This shows that government is taking efforts to market the country as a good holiday destination abroad. Tourism officials, Representatives of the four airlines that operate between the two countries, travel agents and diplomats met recently to decide on implementing the service in Mexico.

The promotional drive will be launched across various parts of Mexico to support the country as a tourist destination amongst the Mexican people. The campaign will benefit investors of rental accommodation in Brazil as the country's government is actively targeting the tourist sector and trying to attract overseas vacationers through various means.

Prices are still relatively cheap but with the stable economy property experts believe that there is a strong basis for property prices to catapult higher. Consequently, property investors who enter the market ahead of price appreciation could find their purchase is worth much more within short span of time.
