One of the actions of the Brazil + Tourism package is precisely to increase the air network to boost tourism movement in Brazil. “In a country of continental dimensions like Brazil, it is essential to ensure air connectivity to allow more and more Brazilians to discover the beauties of our country,” argues the Minister of Tourism, Marx Beltrão.
Every month, the Consumer Survey from the Ministry of Tourism is conducted in seven Brazilian capitals, responsible for 70% of domestic tourist flow. They are: Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and São Paulo.
