Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/06/2015 -- Brazil's main goal for 2015 is to prepare for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio and ensure that all sites are completed on time. However, in 2015 the country's tourism industry faces domestic economic uncertainty and a potential slowdown in tourist arrivals from Argentina.

While we expect projects such as these to be ring-fenced, we note that Brazil's economic growth will remain subdued in 2015, at 0.6%, which may weigh on domestic tourist spending and investment. This will be partly offset by fixed investment directed towards hotel and restaurant development ahead of...
