Brazil tries to kick-start tourism by Geoff Dyer Brazil has everyting to offer the visitor: km of coastline, much of it empty, andless beaches; the plan it’s biggest rainforest; an area of wethlands full of alligators and jaguars; colonia cities and spectacular waterfall. The Bahia coast in northest Brazil is a particularly attractive area for tourism. Several luxury resorts have teen built there. Recently a 170 million five-hotel complexat Sauipe opened. With as 18-hole golf couse and designer shops, Sauipe is shopping to attract rich, for sign visitors. The tourism industry had problems in the past because of high inflation which led to short-term scanning. Hotels, however, are long-term investment, often with payback periods over 15 years. If resorts such as Suaipe are going to attract signifint numbers or tourists, they have to solve several problems.

For a start, Brazil needs reaper and frequent international air travel. Brazilian airlines have actually decreased the number or scheduled international flights in the past 10 years because of a currency devaluation. Foreign visitors also demand a level of service ‘45’ that needs lengthy training – a considerable task for most of the resorts in the northeast which do not have a well-educated popu ‘50’ lation to provide suitable staff. the prder big challenge for Sauipe’s managers is to avoid the social problems ‘55’ that order new resorts have caused. When large numbersof people have come from the interior in search of jobs, quickly creating ’60’ slums. The resort is hoping to deal with these pressures by setting up courses in the surrounding village for ‘65’ making handicrafts which will be sold at Sauipe and by organising credit for local co-operatives to produce foodstuffs for the ‘70’ hotels. Some people believe that the developers have not planned the new resorts properly. ‘Sauipe is a resort ’75’ without adequate infra structure. Trainning or planning about how industry will develop.

Says Mario Beni, a professor of ’80’ tourism at the University of Sāo Paulo. Often created in the middle of nowhere, he says, many of these resorts have ‘85’ poor transport links and no local tourism or sports facilities to take advantage of. It is time to stop ang think about these grand ‘90’ projects,’ he adds. Not true, replies the Bahia state government. Which claims to have spent $2.1 billion over the past ‘95’ decade on basic tourism infrastructure, from roads to airports to sanitation. From the Financial Times FINANCIAL TIMES World business newspaper Imagine you are planning a new resort in your own country. Discuss these questions. 1. Where will you build it? 2. What sort of customers will you try to attract? 3. What facilities will you include?
