MBAs tab Brazil as the most appealing South American business market

Nearly half of the entire South American population lives in Brazil, a country larger than the continental United States. As one of the four "BRIC" countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China), this Portuguese-speaking nation represents the fastest growing economy in the Western Hemisphere.

MBA programs looking to build a residency in an emerging economy closer to home, often choose Brazil for its ease of access and comparatively inexpensive hotel and ground transportation costs. When in Brazil, it is essential to visit Sao Paulo, the cosmopolitan business capital of South America. With its metro area population in excess of 17 million, this is where Brazilian business gets done! Rio de Janeiro is Brazil's secondary business city, but is blessed with a scenic beachfront location, and is home to the renowned sites of Corcovado and Sugar Loaf.

For groups building a "Brazil only" itinerary, Salvador, Buzios, or Iguassu Falls are frequently considered.    Many groups to Brazil, however, look for a more regional survey, and include Buenos Aires, Argentina or Santiago, Chile to accomplish this goal. 

TravelMBA can work with your program to assemble a Brazil-specific or South America-general routing that makes sense both logistically and financially.
