Salvador is the ideal place to purchase a holiday home
Monday, June 15, 2009
Salvador is the ideal place to purchase a holiday home in Brazil as it attracts millions of local holidaymakers and thousands of Brits, according to an expert.
Tom Wuckovich writing for the Toronto Star said that the city, which is in the north eastern state of Bahia, was the first major port and the capital of colonial Brazil for almost two centuries. The city lies between green tropical hills and broad beaches along the bay of Todos os Santos. In Salvador, the African influence in the makeup of Brazilian culture is readily visible more than anywhere else in the country, from the peppery dishes still called by their African names ( acaraji, caruru, vatapa), to the ceremonies of candombli which honor both African deities and Catholic holidays.
Many of the city's flamboyant churches, private homes, colorful colonial buildings, and cobblestoned streets have been preserved as part of Brazil's historic patrimony. For a cosmopolitan holiday, travelers may wish to head to the Pelourinho historical district, Mr. Wuckovich said.
"Pelourinho has a place on the national historic register and named a world cultural centery by UNESCO." he pointed out. This areas is Nicknamed as Pelo by residents which is in the older part of the upper city, or Cidade Alta, of Salvador. Pelo has something to see along every street, including churches, cafes, restaurants, shops and the pastel-hued buildings.
However, Locals and overseas tourists alike flock to Farol da Barra, a small island at the tip of Salvador to sit and watch the sun go down while drinking cocktails.
In related news, Will Hide, a Yorkshireman, now living in London, writes full time on many aspects of travel and food for numerous national UK papers recommended the Salvador de Bahia as being close to paradise for holidaymakers.

Brazil mounts tourism campaign
Sunday, October 5, 2008
The Brazilian government tourism body Embratur has started new promotional campaigns and will invest millions of pounds to advertise the country's attractions in a bid to support the country's tourism sector.
'Brazil Sensational' is the name of the proposal by the government to attract holidaymakers from UK, France, Canada, Spain, Italy, Germany and the US. The global campaign will run until June 2009 and wants to showcase the aspects of the country, such as its cultural history, rural life, food, the rainforests, adventure tourism and beaches. Leonel Rossi, director of international affairs at the Brazilian Travel Agency Association, has predicted a growth of ten per cent in the number of foreign tourists in Brazil this year.
Commenting on the scheme, Luiz Barretto, Brazil's minister of tourism has said that the purpose is to create higher demand for Brazilian destinations. This new initiative is designed to attract more tourists to Brazil and this could broaden the appeal of the country and potentially open up new areas to tourists. The promotion of Brazil as a holiday location is a good news for overseas investors thinking of buying property in the nation, as holidaymakers may need rental accommodation during their stay.
The Annual Research of Economic Conjecture in Tourism has revealed that after a record year in 2007, when the industry generated $19.8 billion, the revenues are predicted to rise by 16.7 per cent in 2008 and associated sectors including investment and holiday property in Brazil are likely to receive more stimulation.
In related news, the World Travel and Tourism Council has stated that Brazil should be among the top ten countries in the world that generate the most jobs in tourism by 2018.

Brazil is benefiting from the improved international connectivity, high tourist trade, housing market growth, and growing interest from overseas property buyers. Tourism has been the prominent factor that has encouraged investors to buy property for sale in Brazil. This means that rental accommodations in popular Brazilian tourist hotspots are becoming more and more sought-after by tourists. The increased occupancy rates due to booming tourism will result in high rental yields. Additionally, the growing interest and demand will have the effect of boosting property values.
Liam Bailey, head of residential research at the property consultancy, anticipated investors in Brazil would see "substantial wealth creation" in the next decade. Earlier property website Homes Worldwide has said that Brazil has seen capital growth of around 20 per cent in its property last year.
