    Brazilian consumers have been boosting domestic demand with retailsales growing by more than 11%, thanks to the growing number ofmiddle class cit izens and increased availability of consumer credit(which increased at an annual rate of 20% in May 2010).

    Employment has been growing and unemployment falling, but the

    strength of the currency has stifled competitiveness making for weakgrowth in parts of the manufacturing sector reliant on exports.

    Table 3.2 Economic indicators (% growt h unlessstated)Indicator 2010 2011 2012

    Table 3.2 shows a number of key economic indicators for Brazil basedon estimates and forecasts from Oxford Economics and theInternational Monetary Fund.

    It is clear t hat the economy is set to grow at a slightly slower pace in2011and 2012 than in 2010 but this remains a rate the envy of manydeveloped economies. Both inflation and average earnings areforecast to moderate in t he next two years, while the labour marketis set to see further falls in the rate of unemployment.

    , GDP percapita in Brazil is around $12,000 per annum, indicating that, onaverage, the population has a modest standard of living by westernstandards. However, this average masks wide income variations withmany living in poverty.which economic measures can be compared across countries havingtaken into account relative exchange rates and price levels.

    There is a growing middle class in Brazil, and as is shown later in t hisChapter, an increasing number of very wealthy citizens.

    For t he latest economic indicators (updated quarterly) see Table 2.2.

    Exchange RateChart 3.3 Exchange rate: cost of sterl ing

    The Brazil ian currency is the Real. The trend since 2004 has been forthe cost of sterling to fall for visitors from Brazil, having roughlyhalved over the past seven years. What is clear is that the currencyhas been far more stable in recent years than at the start of the lastdecade, a period that saw dramatic swings in the value of the Real.

    Brazil is a fairly ethnically mixed country. As well as descendantsfrom the more established European, African and indigenouspopulations, there are also significant communities of descendantsfrom more recent German, Italian, Japanese and Arab immigrantsfrom the early 20th century, especially in t he south of the country.So Paulo is oft en cited as having the largest Japanese population

    outside of Japan.

    The retirement age in Brazil is, in most cases, 65 for men and 60 forwomen.

    Brazil is a predominantly Roman Catholic country. Over the pastcouple of decades there has been a signif icant growth in evangelicalworship.

    Languageich is used by virtually t he

    entire population as the primary form of communication. Brazilian

    Portuguese is slightly different from the version spoken in Portugal,with slightly different pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. As acomparison, the diff erence between Port uguese spoken in Brazil andPortugal could be considered somewhat greater than the differencein English between the UK and the United States.

    Being a large country there are regional variations in accent in Brazil,but on the whole the population speaks a similar version of thelanguage with no major dialects.

    Foreign languages, including English, are not spoken widely.Generally speaking, the younger, more educated Brazil iandemographic would have the best knowledge of English.

    Holidays and Annual Leaveequates to 22 days of annual leave from work. Major hol iday periodsare in July and January during t he school hol idays, and also during t heweek of Carnaval (which usually falls in February).

    There are 13 national holidays in Brazil, as out lined below. These arecomplemented with additional state and municipal public holidays.

    As an example, in t he city of So Paulo there are three addit ionalpublic holidays on 25 January, 9 July and 20 November. It is commonfor many Brazilians to take a long weekend off when public holidaysfall close to the weekend. Unlike in the UK, public holidays are notmoved to a weekday if they coincide with the weekend.

    Consumer TrendsThe consistently strong performance of the Brazilian economy overthe past decade has helped to enrich t he wealthier classes furt herand transform the middle class into the cornerstone of domesticconsumption. The rapid growth of the middle class, wit h tens ofmillions of Brazilians moving out of the lower income brackets,combined with an easier access to credit for the first t ime has led to aboom in domestic consumption. The middle class has becoming a

    leading consumer of products in industries as varied as automobiles(sales forecast t o increase by 40% to 4.8 mil lion in 2015), electronics(ownership of computers has increased from 13% to 52% between2002 and 2010) and the food industry. Businesses have changedtheir strategies as a result, shif t ing their marketing focus towardsmeeting the needs of this new segment.

    E-commerce is now also starting to gain ground in Brazil. In a marketwhich has been t raditionally dominated by face-to-face interactionand a strong service culture, around a third of all Brazilians internetusers now purchase items online - mainly books, DVDs andelectronics. This new trend is mainly concentrated amongst the

    younger segment of the population, which suggests that t hisbehaviour will become more widespread with time as the populationages. On the travel side, online booking sites such as decolar.comand submarino.com have entrenched themselves amongst themarket leaders over the past few years, providing st iff competit ion tothe traditionally dominant travel agencies especially on price forfl ights and hotels.

    Travel TrendsBrazilians are travelling overseas in ever greater numbers thanks tothe good economic situation in the market and the strong currency.Given that taxes on imported goods in Brazil are extremely high thisis also leading to a huge increase in shopping by Brazilians overseas.

    Shopping now forms an integral part of the Brazilian overseas travelexperience, with travel agencies even putting together packagesspecifically t argeting t his activity, especially to the United States.According to VISA, retail or shopping accounted for 73% of allBrazilian expenditure overseas in 2010.

    The emerging middle class is now able to t ravel overseas for the firstt ime thanks to the strong real and the increasing availabilit y of credit .This is leading to a boom in Brazilian travel to cheaper destinationssuch as the United States (and in particular Florida) and destinationscloser to home such as Argentina and Uruguay, but also to Europewhere whistle-stop tours of the main European capitals are the

    standard.

    The wealthier classes are also travelling overseas more than ever, butare increasingly looking for newer and more exotic destinations suchas Turkey, India, Dubai and South Africa.

    Agencia Click estimates that 2.6 million Brazilians update their blogsdaily, which ranks the country as among the world's most active interms of blog activity. According to ComScore blog sit es have anunusually high reach of 71% of the Brazilian internet audience,compared to a 50% average figure worldwide.

    Use of Communicat ions TechnologyMobileAccording to Neilson, Brazil ranks second to Italy for multiple SIM

    card ownership among the 15-24 cohort , but Brazil ians are less likelythan those in other countries surveyed to be using mobiles foradvanced data services.

    Social MediaAccording to PhoCusWright 85% of int ernet users in Brazil do so inorder to use a social networking site with Orkut and Facebook themost used sites. It is estimated that t he average Brazil ian web userspends more than 30 hours per month on the internet, about fivehours more than the global average, with 8 out of these 30 hoursspent up using Orkut.

    PhoCusWright reckon that Brazil is home to the fif th highest numberof Twitter users, and is the largest non-English speaking market forthe site. Females are estimated to represent a larger proport ion ofthe social-networking community in Brazil than are males. Cit izensof Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are more likely to be engaged insocial networking activit y than are residents of other regions of thecountry according to comScore.

    It can be seen from Chart 5.1that mobile penetration is virtuallyuniversal, at 998 devices per 1,000 of population in Brazil, makingthis the communicat ions technology of choice for the majority, withonly one-in-five having land line telephone access.

    Chart 5.1 Communications technology (per 1,000)

    Sources of Holiday Inspirat ionA VisitBritain sponsored question asked on the 2007 Nations BrandIndex Survey asked respondents about the ways in which they mightbe influenced or inspired to choose places for a holiday.

    Respondents could t ick as many inf luences as they wished, and it canbe seen in Chart 5.2 that two-thirds admitted to having beeninf luenced by something that they had seen on the Internet , withalmost as many saying t hat a more old-fashioned source hadinf luenced their choice of destinations, namely something that t heyhad read in a book.

    Respondents from Brazil were very much more likely to say thatsomething they had seen in a movie at the cinema or on television

    had influenced them, with the same being t rue for the influence thatspecial deals from airlines had on destination choice.

    Photographs shown to respondents by their friends or family hadinf luenced one-in-two in t erms of destination choice while one-in-three claimed to have been influenced by a sporting event being heldin a country, support ing the findings reported in Chart 4.2.

    Brazilian respondents were much less likely t han the average to saythat a previous visit had influenced their choices, but this makessense considering the low number saying t hat t hey were experiencedinternational t ravellers (Chart 4.2).

    Although mentioned by only 20%, Brazilians were more likely thanthe average respondent to say that a celebrity had influenced theirchoice of destination.

    Chart 5.2 Inf luences on dest ination choice

    Planning and BookingBooking MethodsAccording to Embratur, 38% of outbound trips from Brazil areorganized by a travel agent, although with airline tickets becomingmore commonly booked directly by the consumer using the Internet.

    Booking lead-t imeFrom a VisitBritain sponsored question asked on the International

    Passenger Survey (Chart 5.3) it is evident that 40% of Brazilianvisitors to Brit ain had decided upon their t rip 1-3 months beforetravel, but as is the norm for long-haul markets, many visitors weredeciding on their t rip more than three months in advance ofdeparture.

    It is the norm for leisure trips to be decided on further in advancethan is the case for business trips.

    state how expensive they felt a week long holiday (including the costof gett ing to the destination) would be in Britain and seven otherdestinations on a scale of 1= not at all expensive to 7 = extremelyexpensive (Chart 6.7).

    The average rating for Bri tain among respondents in Brazil was 5.2,indicating t hat Britain was thought of as an expensive destination,but it can be seen that Italy, and particularly France, were perceivedto be destinations that would be more expensive stil l, with ratings of5.4 and 5.6 respectively.

    th most valuable sourcemarket. This represents a more than fourfold increase over the pastdecade, though it should be noted that this does not allow for theimpact of inflation or relative exchange rate shifts.

    As a destination for int ernational tourism in it s own right Brazilatt racted 5.2 million inbound visitors in 2010, making it the 45th mostvisited country worldwide.

    Top Dest inat ionsEstimates for 2010 indicate that the United Kingdom was the 10thmost visited destination by Brazilians. As can be seen from Table 7.1a number of European countries receive more visits from Brazil thandoes Britain, but the three of the four most visited countries arewithin the Americas.

    BritainBased on estimates made by Tourism Economics, Britain accountedfor around 3% of all outbound visits from Brazil in 2010.

    Our Competi tor SetWhile outbound travel takes place to a mult itude of destinations wehave developed a framework to identify those destinations that are

    similarit ies in terms of distance from the market in question, what itis the destination offers and so on.

    For example, many Americans go to the Bahamas but Britain is notcompeting directly wit h the Bahamas for the American market in thesame way as it is competing wit h France.

    Chart 7.1shows how Britain has performed in terms of market shareamong a realistic compet itor set between 2005 and 2010. It can beseen that Britain has increased its market share slightly, but not by

    the extent of France.

    8. Access to BritainPracticalitiesVisitors from Brazil do not need a visa in order to visit Britain for a

    holiday, business trip or short-t erm study visit, or indeed to visit anycountry t hat is part of t he Schengen bloc. As with visitors from allnations a valid passport is required.

    Mode of TravelChart 8.1shows that t he vast majorit y of visits f rom Brazil involves airt ravel, but with what at f irst might seem a surprising number ofvisitors who depart by other modes, though this is largely explainedby the extent t o which Brit ain is combined with other destinations byBrazilians (Chart 9.12).

    The growth in Brazilians using the Channel Tunnel is of part icularnote. In relation to t his, Chart 8.2 shows, for t hose visitors nottravelling by air, whether they brought a vehicle with them throughthe Channel Tunnel or on-board a ferry, or whether they were usingEurostar. It is clear that these visitors were predominantly usingEurostar trains or travelling by coach, either on-board a ferry orthrough the Channel Tunnel.

    9. Trip Characterist icsVolume and Value TrendsBrazil generated 177,000 inbound visit s for Britain in 2010 (Table 9.1)

    wit h this representing a sharp increase on 2009. This increase wasnot fully reflected in growth in visit or spending which increased by

    th mostvaluable source market.

    The latest quarterly data for visit from Brazil can be found in Table2.1.

    Table 9.2 covers a range of key market metrics for Brazil by journeypurpose. Both holiday and business visit s last an average of 6nights, but i t is evident t hat thanks to business visitors spendingmore than twice as much per night as do holiday visitors, how muchis earned from t he typical business visit is around 1,300 while, onaverage, a holiday visit generates 669.

    Visits to friends and relatives last nearly twice as long as either

    holiday or business visit s but have a far lower average spend pernight at just 42. This fact wi ll largely reflect t he dif ferentaccommodation types used by visitors with each type of journeypurpose (Chart 9.8).

    With an average nightly spend well ahead of the typical study visitfrom many other markets, it is clear t hat an average trip length ofalmost two months feeds through to a very high average spend perstudy visit f rom Brazil.

    Looking at longer term trends since 1993 as shown in Chart 9.1it isapparent that with the exception of a dip in 2009 visits from Brazil

    have been on an upward trajectory for much of the past decade.However it can be seen that t he Brazilian market had been

    generating around 150,000 visits per annum back in the late 1990sbefore a steep decline set in, with economic woes and volatileexchange rates key factors at the time.

    Looking at the real value of visitor spending from Brazil it can be seenthat from a low-point of 70m (at 2010 prices) in 2004 this has risensteadily t o reach 160m in 2010. The record year for visitor spendingwas 1998 at 201m in 2010 prices.

    Chart 9.2 Journey purpose mix

    From Chart 9.2 we have a clear picture of the journey purposedistribution in 2010, but it is helpful t o look at longer-term trends and

    this is done in Chart 9.3 which shows the number of visits by majorjourney purpose over the course of the last decade.

    Chart 9.3 Journey purpose trend (000s of visit s)

    This reveals that it is growth in the number of holiday visits that hasbeen the main locomotive of the overall increase in visits from Brazil

    over recent years, while the number of business visits has barelychanged, with greater numbers of VFR than business visit sthroughout the past f ive years.

    Durat ion of StayAs can be seen from Chart 9.4 trips from Brazil are typically of a

    duration that lasts between 1and 7 nights, with slightly more 1-3night t han 4-7 night visit s in the typical year. Boosted by study visits(Table 9.2) it can be seen that there are a significant volume of tripsthat last 15+ nights.

    Chart 9.4 Durati on of stay t rend (000s of visit s)

    The volume of trips by duration of stay broken down by journey

    purpose is shown in Chart 9.5, revealing that even numbers of holidayvisits are of 1-3 and 4-7 nights durat ion. By contrast business visitsare most likely to be 1-3 nights and study visits 15+ nights in length.For VFR trips there are similar numbers of trips in each category.

    Chart 9.9 Visit s by area and journey purpose (000s)

    Looking at t he top towns visited, based on an average over a fouryear period due to low sample sizes when analysing t own level datafrom t he International Passenger Survey, it is apparent (Table 9.3)that London generates by far the most visits, but it is interesting tosee Oxford making it into the top five.

    Visit s to the Coast , Countryside and Vil lagesChart 9.10 Propensity to visit coast , countryside andvillages

    From a VisitBritain sponsored question included on the InternationalPassenger Survey we can see how many visits from Brazil involvevisits to the countryside, villages or the coast (Chart 9.10).

    It is clear that a very dif ferent picture emerges for holiday visitorsthan it does for VFR visitors. Holiday visit ors are not as likely as theaverage inbound visitor t o explore rural Britain or visit the coast, butthe opposite is true for VFR visitors who are nearly twice as likely tovisit these types of destination (for example 42% of Brazilian VFRvisitors go to t he countryside) than is the average visitor.

    Business visitors have a low propensit y to visit rural parts of Britain,

    but more than one-in-ten do find their way to the countryside.

    Transport used while in Bri tainBased on a VisitBritain sponsored question included on theInternational Passenger Survey (Chart 9.11) we can observe thatvisitors from Brazil are more likely t han the average inbound visitorto use all forms of public transport and taxis than is the averagevisitor, with well over half using London Underground, not a surpriseconsidering the regional distribut ion of trips (Chart 9.9).

    Brazilian visitors are less likely to use their own, a friends or a family

    likely to use a hired car.

    Chart 9.11 Propensit y t o use internal modes oftransport

    TouringFrom a VisitBritain question included on the International PassengerSurvey (Chart 9.12) it is clear that 38% of holiday visitors from Brazilexplore several locations by car, coach or train while in Britain, withVFR visitors from Brazil notably more likely than the average VFRvisitor t o do so (29% versus 23%). Business visitors from Brazil areunlikely to engage in this activity, but marginally more do so than istypically t he case from other markets.

    As can be seen two-thirds of all holiday visits to Britain from Brazilinclude time spent in other countries, with t his being true for half of

    all VFR trips and more than two-fifths of business visits.

    Chart 10.1 Visitor demographics

    Taking a look at t rends by age cohort (Chart 10.2) it is plain t o seethat there has been rapid growth in the number of visitors aged 25-34, but with modest increases in ot her age groups apart from 0-15.

    Chart 10.2 Age group t rend (000s of visit s)

    Travelling CompanionsBased on a VisitBritain sponsored quest ion asked on theInternational Passenger Survey (Chart 10.3) we can see that half ofholiday visitors are travelling with their spouse or partner but one-in-five are holidaying on their own. It is interesting to see that althoughmore than half of business visitors are travelling alone, one-in-threeis with other business colleagues when they visit Britain.

    For VFR visitors nearly six-in-ten will be on their own, but a sizeableproportion is travelling with adult f amily members.
