More Chinese tourists are interested in Brazil because of the 2014 World Cup and the coming Olympic Games in 2016.

More than 5,000 Chinese tourists traveled to Brazil during the World Cup. The real number is even bigger. The 2014 World Cup was the perfect chance for Chinese tourists to get to know Brazil.

The number of Chinese tourists to Brazil will get to 100,000 a year. In 2012, 65,000 Chinese nationals visited the country.

Because of the high cost and length of flights from China to Brazil, the country is not a nice destination for Chinese tourists. During the World Cup, many Chinese travel more than 30 hours to enjoy the fun.

An online travel agency in Shanghai arranged trips for more than 1,500 Chinese tourists during the tournament. 

“Brazil was not a popular tourism destination. We only had dozens of tourists when we launched outbound trips to Brazil two years ago. But during the tournament, we had more than 2,500 people that asked for information about Brazil," said the product director at the travel agency. 

The number of Chinese tourists traveling to Brazil will grow in the next three to five months. Brazil is not only famous for the World Cup. It also has great tourism resources, such as the Amazon rain forest.
