Brazil as a possible location

Brazil, as one of the strongest emerging economies in present times is an option for a new Disneyland that we are exploring.

Brazil has the following attributes:

- Accessible to U.S. tourists

- Ease of tourist visa attainment

- Cultural openess to U.S

- Developing infrastructure that will support higher numbers of tourists

-2014 and 2016 promise to be  two important years sports wise in Brazil with the World Cup and the Olympic Games - increase for global profile, and more public transport/money spent on tourist facilities (eg hotels, public amenities, improved visitor information and access)

- Tourist safety higher than for other South American and Central American countries

- Economy is stable

- Brazillian dollar (Real) is weaker than the U.S. dollar making it a more attractive option for tourists

- Population big enough to support new business

- Moderate tropical climate that allows for use of an outdoor park all year round

-Brazilians are the third most popular visitors (behind US and Japanese) at Walt Disney World in Orlando.

Reasons against:

- "The very few theme parks that exist in Brazil are losing money, or making a very small profit, even in the booming economy that Brazil faces today."

"When you have beautiful beaches to go for free, or astonishing views for a very low price, it is difficult to justify paying US$ 85.00 to have fun. Perhaps that is the reason all theme parks failed in Rio.
Besides that, there is no land available for a big project like a Disney theme park + resort in the wealth side of Rio, and believe me, you would not appreciate going to the poor side."
