Saudi Arabia has an oil-driven economy, as for several years the country has been dependent on oil and related sectors for economic growth. However, focus has shifted to development of other sectors such as tourism in order to decrease dependence on oil, particularly after the global financial crisis of 2009 when the oil sector declined at a rate of 9.0%. The move will also create employment opportunities in sectors other than oil within the country. Tourism in the country is significantly dependent on religious tourism and has witnessed an increase in the number of pilgrims over the years.

The Brazil Tourism Report examines the significant long-term potential being offered by the local tourism industry, especially as the country is to host first the FIFA Football World Cup this year and then the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. However, the report also highlights long-term structural weaknesses facing Brazil's tourism market, particularly in the realm of national transport infrastructure and the shortage of hotels across the country. The latter issue indicates long-term development potential but could lead to supply shortages during the 2014 and 2016 sporting events. The report also analyses the growth and risk management strategies being employed by some of the leading hotel players in the Brazilian tourism sector as they seek to maximise these tremendous growth opportunities.

The number of trips in arrivals grew by 8% in 2011 and by 4% in 2012 while incoming tourist receipts grew by only 3% in 2011 and by 2% in 2012 in current value terms. In constant value terms incoming tourist receipts suffered a decline of 4% in 2012. One of the main reasons for this was the expansion of low cost carriers which appealed to less affluent tourists who were eager to travel for short periods of time, for example long weekends. This trend gathered pace in 2012 after the bankruptcy of national air travel company Malev Hungarian Airlines Rt as low cost carriers stepped in rapidly to occupy the gap. According to trade sources, tourists who fly with low cost carriers, in particular young single consumers, tend to have a modest travel budget thus they often opt for very affordable travel accommodation and they tend not to visit restaurants.
