Chinese tourist
visits to Brazil
Brazil and China
tourism is growing at a steady pace (around 16,000 chinese have visited Brazil,
in 2004), though at a much slower rhythm than the growing of their bilateral
trade, which is positively booming.
The recently accord
on tourism, conceding ADS (Approved Destination Status) to Chinese and Brazilian
citizens may contribute to an increase on travelling. Chinese tourist do not
need visas for visits of less than 30 days (see
Brazilian Visa, exemptions and details).
Boom in the trade between China and
Brazil
Brazilian exports to China have exceeded
the Brazilian exports to Argentina, in the last years. China is already the
third largest importer of Brazilian products (the first is, clearly, the USA),
and the main or second one of products such as soy, steel, metallurgic products
or coal…
China and Brazil have signed recent important commercial
alliances and accords on natural-resource development projects, technological
cooperation in construction, civil engineering and agribusiness.
Chinese and Brazilian delegations recently discussed ways
of increasing the trade with Mercosul, the free trade block comprising Brazil,
Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
These, and other facts, show the growing
importance of Brazil-China relations.
Political support and relations
between China and Brazil
The Brazilian attempt to create a new
South-South dynamic, alternative to G8 and to the economic and politic vision of
the major developed countries - has been coldly received by the Chinese
authorities.
Recent high level conversations between
the Presidents Lula, of Brazil, and the president Hu Jintao, of China, haven’t
conducted to the expected results, in the Brazilian perspective and goals.
Though Brazil backed the 'one China'
policy and declared that human rights were a China political issue, China has
refused its integration in the coalition of developing countries proposed by
President Lula of Brazil. This coalition is currently known as G3 (it includes
Brazil, India and South Africa) but should be extensive to other key developing
countries.

Japanese and the Brazilian tourist destinations
Japan Brazil Tourism
Japanese are today, the first Asiatic
national group to demand Brazil as a tourist destination, though the number of
visits remains modest (below the 50,000 tourists).
This situation may however change very
soon. The interest of the Japanese in Brazil as a travel destination is high,
and there is a strong Brazilian bet in the Japanese tourist market.
History: Japanese in Brazil
Brazil has the largest community of
Japanese descendants outside Japan: something like 1.5 million people, living
mostly in the Sao Paulo State or in the very city. The Liberdade district, in
the heart of Sao Paulo, is intensely populated by this community.
The Japanese immigration to Brazil began
in 1908, responding to an intense Brazilian shortage of farm workers, and
continued until the Second World War. Though the initial expectation of the
Japanese immigrants pointed to the condition of independent farmers, most of
them ended up as agricultural workforce or in city jobs.
The Japanese community in Brazil has
never lost their original links to their mother land, and to their culture of
origin, but their integration in the Brazil society became a visible fact after
the World War II. Most of them adopted the Portuguese language, and the Roman
Catholicism of the Brazilian society. When, during the 1980s, over 250,000
Japanese Brazilians came back to Japan, attracted by the boom of Japanese
economy and fleeing the Brazilian economic impasses, most of them didn’t speak
Japanese…

India and
Brazil as Emerging New Potencies
India and Brazils past relations are almost null in their
practical importance, but something may be changing.
Recent Brazil’s foreign-policy initiatives have resulted
in an accord of cooperation with India and South Africa, signed in June 2004,
currently know as the G3 treaty. The G3 intends to counterweight the strategic
influence of G8 and the perspective of developed countries.
Indian Foreign Minister Yashwant Sinha has recently
defined the group as a way to promote the social and economic interests of
developing countries. "We have thought enough about South-South cooperation and
we have reached this stage now where we want to give it a concrete shape," he
declared.
The G3 is focused on scientific and technological
cooperation, but also in commercial negotiations namely through unified
strategies inside the World Trade Organization.
A possible key member, China, has received the Brazilian
proposals about joining G3, rather coldly. See Political
support and relations between China and Brazil.
Tourism involving India and Brazil
The governments of
Brazil and India are promoting bilateral tourism initiatives, including
information actions to tour operators, travel agents and travel writers.
Indians do not need
visa to entry in Brazil.

OTHER COUNTRIES: EMBASSIES AND
CONSULATES
The warmth of Brazilian people, the exoticism of a cuisine such as the Bahian, the way music is lived in Rio de Janeiro and in the Northeast, the many natural eco-beach paradises with 360 sunny days a year, the Amazon, the Pantanal, Rio de Janeiro, the Iguassu Falls and other Brazilian destinations have attracted around 5,5 million foreign tourists last year. Asians are a minor part of these travellers, but it is expected a substantial growth in their number.
