Hotel occupancy was up 23 percent for the time period when compared to a year earlier, with Carnival drawing immense crowds and nearly sold out rooms. Rio De Janeiro welcomed some 2.55 million visitors in January and February, 50,000 more than last year.

Tourism minister Luiz Barreto noted that the tourism numbers are very good and “not all sectors have been affected by the economic crisis.” Tourism is responsible for approximately 2.6 percent of the GDP for the country, with annual revenues of nearly 16 billion US dollars.

Brazil’s president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, recently announced that his government plans to construct one million new homes by 2010 to help get the country’s economy back on track and to help homeowners.
“The construction industry is extremely important for generating jobs, and providing dynamism to the economy and steel industry, above all for the least skilled workers in the country," said the president as he spoke to reporters in Brasilia last week.
