THE BUZZ
COUNTRY SNAPSHOT: BRAZIL
THE PULSE
Game on! Brazil will play host to two major sporting events in the
next three years: the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer
Olympic and Paralympic Games. As a result, big-brand hoteliers
and independents operators alike are stampeding into the country
to provide lodging to attendees. Among the major firms either
executing or eying major growth in the country are Accor, Hilton,
Hyatt, Marriott and Starwood Hotels & Resorts, while the independents making moves there include Trust Hospitality, whose new
Indie Boutique Hotels & Resorts unit already includes two hotels in
Brazil, with plans to add three more locales there this year.
THE NUMBERS
Brazil is the world’s seventh-wealthiest economy, with an estimated
2011 Gross Domestic Product of $US2.2 trillion, the World Bank
reports. It is also the largest country in area (3.2 million square miles)
and population (197 million-plus inhabitants) in Latin America and
the Caribbean.
THE HOT SPOTS
“As Brazil prepares to host the largest sporting events in the world,
we anticipate to see supply growth taking place across the country,”
said Elizabeth Randall Winkle, managing director at hotel data
provider STR Global. “However, we are expecting to see lower growth
levels in well-established destinations such as Rio de Janeiro and São
Paulo, which account for almost 30 percent of the room inventory of
branded hotels in the country.”

While growth may be slowing some in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo,
many of Brazil’s secondary cities are getting increasing attention
from the big brands. Earlier this year, for example, Starwood opened
a Sheraton da Bahia Hotel in Salvador, a coastal Brazilian tourist
destination. Marriott International, meantime, recently announced
plans to open a new 162-room Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in 2014
in Recife, a port city on the country’s eastern tip.
As for luxury/boutique projects, Egbert Bloemsma, managing
director of Trust Hospitality Brazil, notes that “development costs
are relatively high in Brazil, and few existing, privately owned hotels
can truly be considered luxury destinations. That means while there
is a great opportunity for creating such boutique hotels, one has to
educate the local market at the same time, as few Brazilians are used
to paying the higher prices typically associated with such locales.”
