New flights to boost Brazil's accessibility
The accessibility of Brazil from Europe is to be improved due to the launch of a new flight from Portugal, a media outlet has revealed.
From February next year, TAP will begin operating services between Lisbon and Belo Horizonte five times a week, reports HolidayHypermarket.
Although the Portuguese airline already offers regular flights to other parts
This will serve to further open up the Brazilian market to groups such as holidaymakers and overseas property buyers.
Commenting on the new service, the government of the South American country said it would have an "enormous impact" on its economy.
Tourism minister Marta Suplicy commented: "The new flight will, without doubt, guarantee greater accessibility for foreign tourists who come to Brazil for holidays or business."
Earlier this week, Ms Suplicy was quoted by Xinhua as saying that the whole country was likely to benefit from its forthcoming hosting of the football World Cup in 2014.
