Brazilian state's appeal highlighted

The qualities of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte have been described by its economic development secretary.

Speaking at the Why Brazil? Why Now?: tourism event at the Brazilian embassy in London, Francisco Cipriano de Paulo Segundo said it had plenty to offer.

He remarked: "We have a lot of good wonderful beaches, 410 km of beach with warm water and we are very close to Europe. The Natal district is closer to Europe than all of Brazil."

Such features may help attract both European visitors and those keen on buying tourist-related property in Brazil.

The country as a whole has seen an increase in interest in property in recent weeks, after Rio de Janeiro was awarded host status for the 2016 Olympics, it has been noted.

Currency exchange firm Moneycorp said last week it was setting up a special exchange service to change sterling to reals in order to deal with the increased demand for such transactions.
