pectacular goals are expected during the 2014 FIFA World Cup, and outcomes as well, from the huge investments devoted to the 12 cities that will be hosting the games in Brazil. Around US$ 95 million is being injected into the development of the country’s infrastructure, prioritizing efficiency and sustainability in order to wow the world. In an interview for Discover Brazil, the Minister of Tourism of Brazil, Gastão Vieira, highlights the importance of mega events such as the World Cup to fuel the Brazilian economy. According to Vieira, “600,000 international tourists and 3 million ex-patriot Brazilians will be in the country in 2014, which will generate wealth and income for millions of people in Brazil”.

As tourism and sports go hand in hand, this special issue of our magazine is presenting a profile of each Brazilian host-city including information on their main attractions and updates on the soccer venues. In the same article, The Brazilian Tourism Institute (Embratur) foresees a 25% increase in the number of foreign visitors (only during the games) who will prolong their stay to enjoy the ecotourism, adventure, paradisiac beaches, historical sites, gastronomy and culture that the 12 capitals have to offer.

We also fast-forward to the year 2015 to talk about the ‘Toronto Pan & Parapan American Games’- a big celebration of sports, diversity and culture that will bring over 10,000 athletes while generating more than 15,000 new jobs and engaging around 20,000 volunteers in 40 different sports venues across the city. The games will bring economic growth, with more than $700 million being invested to receive 250,000 visitors. You can also read about the Brazilian Carnival 2013, which gathered 2,500 participants in Toronto to pay tribute to Rio de Janeiro, the biggest Carnival in the world according to the Guinness World Records.

Furthermore, we all know the effort required for carrying out a project like this and that is why I’m delighted and humbled when I read the articles and know how people are using the magazine to connect, learn and find opportunities in Brazil.

The magazine is an intelligent instrument and optimizes the updated information in the country, with many different articles about the diversity of its culture and its people, places to visit and things to see in our beautiful country to Canadians visitors. The editorial shows a commitment to help tourism trade deliver exactly what the title of the magazine says - Discover Brazil! Silvana Nascimento, Deputy Secretariat of Tourism of Minas Gerais State

I would like to congratulate you on your most recent edition of Brazil Canada magazine which features a photo of Canada’s Governor General and Mrs. Johnston on the cover during a visit to Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro in April, 2012. Since I arrived here in October, 2011, as Canada’s Consul General to Rio de Janeiro, I have been following the evolution of your magazine and have become a great fan of your work. Canada-Brazil relations have never been stronger and only continue to grow, thanks in part to work of many including all of you at the magazine. I was also very pleased to see that this most recent edition has a special report on Rio de Janeiro as the “Gateway to Brazil” and enjoyed reading your interview with the Governor of this great state, Mr. Sergio Cabral. I accompanied the Governor General to a meeting with Governor Cabral in April while the Governor General was in this city, and the two men hit it off from the start and had a very enjoyable and productive meeting together.

Again, thanks for sending me a copy of the magazine. I always put copies out in the lobby here for the public to take away, and they are always the first publications to disappear! Sanjeev Chowdhury Consul General of Canada, Rio de Janeiro

Brazil: a country tailor-made for business By Fernando Pieri

Brazil is the leader of MERCOSUR and is one of the BRICS countries.

Maybe you have know-how and manufacture capital goods or have technology in computer without similar one in Brazil? Running a company in Brazil, you can request to the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC) the “ex-tarifário” which is a reduction on rate of Importation Tax on capital goods or related to computers technology that are of great importance to the production by the Brazilian industries or for the modernization of their industrial park. Fernando Pieri, lawyer & Consultant

Direct foreign investments are tax free as well as the remittances of dividends to Canada.

razil offers all facilities for opening your business on its territory. Would you like to open a branch of your company in Brazil? Brazil allows the opening of branches of foreign companies, without any participation of Brazilian individuals or legal entities, or you can, not needing any prior government approval, opt to run a new company with Brazilian participation in it. The dividend to be remitted to Canada, as a reward for participating in a Brazilian company, is tax free as well as the foreign investment done for acquisition of shares.

Perhaps you want to expand your business to Latin America. Brazil is the leader of MERCOSUR (trade bloc of countries-South Cone) and is one of the “BRICS” countries, being a gateway to South American market. In this sense, the new Brazilian company can import the inputs from the Canadian company, proceed with the manufacture in the territory of Brazil and then export to neighboring countries. The benefit of this operation? Suspension or even exemption from all taxes that a traditional importation would be subject to. This model of “import for export” is called “drawback”. Do you want to experience the Brazilian consumer market and the receptivity of your product by the Brazilians before running a new business over there? Alright! You can use the “warehousing import”, a customs regime in which you can export from Canada to Brazil, with suspension of taxes. The goods are placed under fiscal control, as dry ports, until the sale to a Brazilian consumer. The sale coming true, you pay the taxes that were

The biggest sporting event on the planet By Ingrid Coifman, Leila Monteiro Lins & Maria Helena Amaral

Billions of spectators around the globe will be focused on Brazil from June 12 to July 13, 2014. Sustainable economic and tourism developments are the expected outcomes for a country that is investing US$16.5 billion in infrastructure in preparation for the world’s greatest soccer event, where Brazilian and foreign spectators will generate an estimated US$5 billion in the local economy. Brazil’s greatest moment

Discover Brazil’s team has prepared a special report to introduce the 12 host cities of the 2014 FIFA World Cup: Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Cuiabá, Curitiba, Fortaleza, Manaus, Natal, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and São Paulo.

One of FIFA’s main concerns is Brazil’s commitment to sustainability standards. According to Claudio Monteiro, Executive Secretary of the Brasilia 2014 Local Organizing Committee, “among several other sustainable practices, a rainwater collection system has been adopted for lawn irrigation and

solar power will feed the stadiums’ light reflectors. All necessary requirements were carefully planned and integrated into the construction work.” Around 600,000 foreign fans are expected to join the biggest sporting event on the planet next year. Besides watching the games, tourists will be able to enjoy Brazil’s 8,500 km of beaches and distinct ecosystems such as the Pantanal and the Amazon Forest and the diverse cultural and gastronomic heritage of the country. Happy reading!

Marco Antonio Lomanto, director of Embratur - by Teresa Oliveira

The Brazilian Tourism Institute, Embratur, promoted the 2014 FIFA World Cup through “Goal to Brasil”– a 14-country travelling workshop that visited Chile, Argentina, Colombia, France, Portugal, Canada, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Germany, England, Peru, Uruguay, and the US, between July 2012 and May 2013. The goal of the event was to make the 12 host-cities of the World Cup known as tourist destinations in the international market.

According to Marco Antonio Lomanto, director of products and destinations of Embratur, this series of events was an important opportunity to showcase Brazilian culture and diverse tourism products. He added that Canada sends around 70,000 travellers to Brazil every year and that number has increased recently, according to the tourism office. Canada is also one of 17 countries on a priority list when it comes to Brazilian tourism initiatives.

Embratur representatives are hoping to see the number of tourists increase dramatically before, during, and after the World Cup. They foresee a 25% increase of about 600,000 foreign visitors (only during the games) who will prolong their stay in Brazil. In the year 2014, a total of 7. 2 million international tourists are expected to visit the country. 14

Ministry of Tourism allocates US$ 95 million to the 2014 World Cup host cities By Leila Monteiro Lins

40th Tourism Fair in the Americas: minister of Tourism Gastao Vieira (center) with the secretary of Bahia state, Domingos Leonelli. - By LML

Brazil offers several attractions along its 8,500 kilometers of beaches and distinct ecosystems, such as wetlands and rain forests as well as a diverse cultural and gastronomic heritage. In 2014, billions of viewers will be watching not only the talent of the Brazilian team closely, but also the country’s ability to mobilize people and organize one the biggest sporting events on the planet. The minister of Tourism, Gastão Vieira talks about the investments approved for the 12 host cities to make this mega event a total success.

Discover Brazil Magazine

Cover • INTERVIEW Discover Brazil - What is the socio-economic importance of the 2014 FIFA World Cup to Brazil?

Gastão Vieira - Not only the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but also the FIFA Confederations Cup, the World Youth Day and the Olympics represent a unique opportunity for Brazil. Few nations have the courage to host so many mega events in such a short period. Everyone will have their eyes on Brazil. Approximately 600 thousand international visitors are expected to travel to Brazil, which will generate billions of dollars in revenue for the Brazilian economy. In addition, approximately 3 million Brazilian tourists are expected to travel throughout the country. The Ministry of Tourism is working to maximize the legacy of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in the country. DB - How much money was allocated by the Ministry of Tourism to the 12 host cities and where will the funds go?

Gastão Vieira - The Ministry of Tourism has allocated US$ 95 million to the 12 host cities. The funds were used to put up new signs for the tourists, to implement tourist information centres and for accessibility related construction projects. These three funding categories, which are part of the federal government’s commitment to preparing for the 2014 World Cup, will be delivered by the Ministry of Tourism. DB - How are the public and private sectors working together to make the mega sporting events a success?

Gastão Vieira - The interaction between the private and the public sectors is critical to the success of the upcoming mega events. The Ministry of Tourism, in coordination with the official banks, has arranged for an extension of financing for this sector.

www.discoverbrazil.ca

From January to October 2012, the total funding for the tourism sector reached US$4.5 billion, an increase of 32.4% over the same period last year. DB - Are the host cities ready to receive foreign tourists? There has been some talk that cruise ships may be used in Rio de Janeiro to overcome a possible shortage in the number of hotel rooms. Gastão Vieira - We are sure that there will be no shortage of hotels during the World Cup. Besides an increase in supply due to the construction of new developments to meet a growing demand for hotel rooms in the main capitals of the country such as Rio, Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte, there is a movement to cancel events, congresses and trade shows during this period. In just one month, for example, Sao Paulo expects to receive the equivalent number of visitors for the World Cup. As for using cruise ships to accommodate tourists, it is a solution that may be used during the Olympics and is being considered by the Olympic Public Authority along with representatives from the nautical sector. DB - What are the options that Canadians will have for air travel to Brazil? What airlines will be serving this market and what will be the frequency of the flights?

Gastão Vieira - Air Canada has seven direct flights to Brazil, from Monday to Sunday, connecting Toronto to Sao Paulo, which means 1,400 seats per week. In 2011, 70,300 Canadians visited Brazil, placing Canada 16th in the ranking of countries that send the most tourists to Brazil. We hope that number will increase in the coming years with the international exposure the country will receive because of the FIFA Confederations Cup, the World Cup and the Olympic Games.

Cover • INTERVIEW DB - According to FIFA’s Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, the 2014 World Cup will be the most ‘sustainable’ of all the FIFA World Cup events. Can you explain what this means?

Gastão Vieira - Nature is one of the main attractions of Brazil; therefore, we have set sustainability as the backbone of the National Tourism Plan, which will guide the Ministry of Tourism planning for years to come. The financing and the credit lines we arranged with the official banks for the hospitality sector for the construction and remodeling of the hotels, already in excess of US$1 billion in loans, also gives priority to projects with environmentally sustainable solutions, that save and use the natural resources of the country in a rational way.

“

DB - How much revenue will be generated from international tourism during the 2014 World Cup? How many foreign fans are expected?

Gastão Vieira - A study conducted for the Ministry of Sports shows that the World Cup has the potential to generate US$4.7 billion in foreign capital from so-called incremental tourism, that is, tourism generated by the internal movement of Brazilian and foreign tourists in the country. According to the study, the overall economic impact of the 2014 World Cup is expected to be US$ 93.2 billion, with US$24 billion (26%) being direct investments and US$69 billion (74%) being indirect investments.

”

Not only the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but also the FIFA Confederations Cup, the World Youth Day and the Olympics represent an unique opportunity for Brazil.

Porto Alegre city and Beira-Rio stadium by Alfonso Abraham

The United Nations Organization (UN) nominated Porto Alegre three times as the city with the highest quality of life in Brazil. Porto Alegre is a modern, cosmopolitan city with culture and many attractions for tourists. Besides that, traditional rodizio steakhouses and typical gaúcho restaurants are part of the city’s culinary circuit. Savour the traditional carreteiro rice, “feijão mexido” (black beans with cassava flour), sweet potatoes, fried cassava and other Brazilian specialties. Be sure to attend Porto Alegre’s traditional annual folk events with dance performances and music concerts.

emperatures are milder in Porto Alegre with well defined seasons. There are over 2 million people living in Porto Alegre, which was founded by people from the Azores. European influences are evident from Germany, Italy, Spain, Africa, Poland and Lebanon, making it a centre of cultural diversity and wealth. Porto Alegre will host five of the 2014 World Cup matches. The Beira-Rio stadium has been refurbished

and modernized and totally adapted to FIFA’s standards. An investment of US$ 152 million has been allocated to the refurbishment works of the Gigantinho gymnasium, next to Beira-Rio, so that it may be used as a venue for concerts and conventions, thus, supplying the club with other sources of revenue. “The idea is to bring visitors to watch the World Cup matches and also for them to get to know the city.” says Raul Mendes da Rocha from the Tourism Department of Porto Alegre.

The hotel sector of Porto Alegre has increased their capacity by 40% to accommodate the additional travelers during the World Cup and they now offer over 10,000 rooms. The Salgado Filho International Airport has been completely remodeled and can handle over 7,000 passengers per year. 20

The combination of mountain, sea, and sun makes Rio de Janeiro a unique city. Few places around the world bring nature and city together on such a small surface. Thanks to this, Rio is one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the world.

t is considered one of Brazil’s main “postcards” and it is the second largest city of Brazil: Rio de Janeiro or “The Marvelous City”, as it is known, is one of the most important economic, cultural and financial centers of the country. The city is internationally known for its cultural icons recognized worldwide that became some of the city’s postcards, such as Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer statue and the Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The city will stage the 2014 World Cup final match and the “cariocas”, as the city’s residents are known, are also getting ready for the 2016 Olympics. “Brazil is the country of soccer and the next team to win the FIFA World Cup. Rio, by its nature is a very warm city, and I’m sure the locals will receive fans from around the world with open arms, with care and attention. The city is working hard to provide the necessary infrastructure for the event,” says Eduardo Paes, the mayor of Rio.

Belo Horizonte

The first planned city in Brazil

he capital of Minas Gerais was the first planned city in the country and it differs from other older cities in that its architectural diversity remains embedded in the original grid plan: wide streets and avenues and symmetrical blocks.

EDUCATION

MBA in Canada offers career upgrading to Brazilians By José Francisco Schuster

Queen School of Business

More and more, Brazilians are looking to Canada to get their MBAs. ”Canada is a very good destination to obtain your MBA because of the work opportunities in sectors such as oil & gas, finance, marketing and consulting”, says Teresa Pires, assistant director for Recruitment & Admissions of Queen’s School of Business, who was recently in Brazil recruiting students. ”If the student completes our 12-month MBA with a four month internship or a double-degree that could be done in 16 months, they could get a 3 year work permit”, she adds.

nother advantage is that a Canadian MBA is perceived as a higher standard of certification. Pires points out that Queen’s University which is based in Kingston (midway between Toronto and Montreal) is famous. “Canada has much to offer in terms of access to top companies through our Business Career Centre and our Alumni network is very large across the country”, she says.

The coaching culture

The one-year program at Queen’s provides students with a ‘coaching culture’ that allows students to have access to four coaches (personal, lifestyle, career and team). “We have been ranked number one in Business Week Canada 2012 and number four globally”, says the assistant director. According to her, Brazilians work very well in teams and enjoy the close collaboration among students. “The Brazilian students that have participated in our program have met our minimum score requirement of seven on the TOEFL and 100 on IELTS exams. They are extremely successful, very personable, and warm.”

Rodolfo Licastro Sant’Anna, a graduate from Queen’s MBA program, says he has chosen Canada for its great learning opportunities and the cost of living is reasonable unlike that of Europe. Friendliness towards foreign students and solid economy certainly helps one decide where the best program lies for them. In addition, he had friends in Montreal and Calgary who could help during his experience. After researching MBA programs in Canada, Sant’Anna visited six universities and opted for the program at Queen’s.

Teresa Pires, assistant director for Recruitment & admissions of Queen’s Sshool of Bursines

He came to Canada with his wife and two young daughters (five and one-year old at the time), and says that his wife and he did not have problems adapting to a new culture in Canada. The older daughter had difficulties with English during the first three months and both girls experienced the differences between types of meals, schools and daycare systems that were vastly different from what they were used to in Brazil. “Canadians are very understanding with other cultures and that helped us a lot”, he adds. Sant’Anna was an advanced English student when he came, but his biggest challenge was to absorb the high amount of information, “until you start to think in English”. His MBA took one year, from May 2010 to April 2011 and led him to a promotion at Petrobras, the Brazilian oil company. “Queen’s University offers coaching, small classes, and a friendly environment that draws international students and is conducive to a productive education. Also, Canada is a wonderful country, full of polite people who respect the differences of all peoples.”

Brazilian carnival 2013 honours Rio de Janeiro’s culture Toronto hosted Brazilian’s culture, rhythm, and colours By Danielle Marinho

Annual Brazil Carnival at the Paramount Conference and Event - by Maurício Jimenez

Rio de Janeiro’s culture is appreciated all over the world. According to a famous Brazilian composer, Dorival Caymmi, in one of his famous songs, “those who don’t like samba, good people they can’t be, since they must have head numbness or a sick foot.” The largest and most popular celebration in the world allows people to dress up in costumes and head to trendy parties to dance and celebrate.

arnival is a three to four day holiday (the date varies every year); occurring 47 days before Easter. This year, the Carnival in Brazil started on February 8th and went on until the 12th. Carnival’s origins date back to ancient Greek and Roman times. Later, it was incorporated into the Catholic

liturgical calendar, occurring on Ash Wednesday. On the Catholic Calendar, Carnival is now celebrated seven Sundays before Easter Sunday. Carnival occurs in various parts of the world such as Venice, New Orleans, Nice, and Rio de Janeiro. Rio, meanwhile, is known as the biggest Carnival in the world, according to the Guinness World Records. Discover Brazil Magazine

Angela Mesquita & Luis Castro, promoteurs of the Brazilian Carnival in Toronto - by Maurício Jimenez

Rio is not the only city that is particularly well known worldwide for the celebration. Other states in Brazil such as Sao Paulo, Bahia and Pernambuco are all crammed with people in various parades. Recife, for example, is known for having the longest block of Carnival in the world, called “Galo da Madrugada” (Dawn’s Rooster). Carnival in Salvador has its “foliões” (enthusiastic carnival goers) hosting the world’s largest street party - blocking a stretch of streets, kilometers wide, in a weeklong celebration.

2,500 party-goers in Toronto

The Brazilian Carnival 2013 paid tribute to Rio de Janeiro. According to Angela Mesquita, responsible for the Brazilian Carnival in Toronto, with the proximity of the FIFA World Soccer Cup and the

www.discoverbrazil.ca

Olympic Games in Brazil, it was an excellent opportunity to promote and encourage tourism to Brazil. And given that Toronto has such a strong, diverse background, the city hosted the 8th Annual Brazil Carnival on February 9th 2013 at the Paramount Conference and Event, located in Vaughan. The idea of organizing this event in the Toronto community came through the Brazil Remittance office, a place where people mingle and get to share their needs when it comes to their beloved cities in Brazil. Due to the demand, Angela Mesquita owner of Brazil Remittance, who has been living in Toronto since 1987, decided to arrange Toronto’s first Carnival Festival in 2006 and 350 people attended the festivities. “By listening to everyone, we look to help with their needs,” explains Angela,

Culture who will count on Luis de Castro’s help next year to produce the 2014 Carnival celebration.

In 2007, the event received 800 people. And in each of the subsequent years, the number of attendees has been growing steadily. In 2008 and 2009, around 900 people attended; in 2010, 1,200 people; in 2011, almost 1,350 attendees, and in 2012 more than 1,500 people were present at the party. In 2013 however, 2,500 participants attended and the party’s theme was Rio de Janeiro’s culture and samba. Performances included Grupo de Pagode N’ativade; Banda Bracatum; Cibelle Iglesias; The Migration Dance; The Connection Dancers and Batucada Carioca. There was free transportation, including three buses, available between 8:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m., as well as free parking.

Unique way of celebrating Carnival

The Brazilian Carnival in Toronto began to attract a considerable audience from other countries, and consequently, Angela decided to make some adjustments: “Even though it is the most popular party in Brazil, each region has a unique way of celebrating Carnival, so this would be an opportunity to showcase our culture as a whole.” In 2010, Pernambuco was the major focus, with dances such as the “frevo”, “maracatu”, “maculele”, and “boneco de Olinda”. In 2011, Boi Bumba from Parintins, in the Amazon region, was the highlight. In 2012, the focus was on the Bahia Carnival, with Ghandy’s children and lots of AXE (Bahia traditional rhythm).

“I have to say thank you, especially to partners, sponsors, friends, the public, and volunteers who have always brought their beautiful energy to this event. I would like to invite everybody to help spread and promote our Brazilian culture, because by joining forces we can make this country the first destination for foreigners during the holidays!”, says Angela Mesquita.

A Partner of the Brazilian Carnival in Toronto, Arnon Melo, managing Director of Mellohawk Logistics, who has been in Canada for almost 23 years, says, “We believe that the event is essential for our community. Each year the event is more and more successful. We can appreciate everyone’s joy as we celebrate our culture. We would like to congratulate Angela and her staff, including volunteers, for one more year of the Brazilian Carnival in Toronto. It’s an honor to be part of it.”
