Portugal had more tourists than Brazil in 2012

This is a surprising result, because Brazil has an area which is 92 times bigger than Portugal.

In 2012, Portugal had 7,6 million tourists, which is not even close than the world tourism country leader (France) which received 83 million tourists in the same year.

However, although its size, Brazil had only 5,6 million tourists in 2012.

The Brazil tourism performance will certainly increase in 2014 with the Football (Soccer) World Cup and in 2016, with the Rio Olympic Games.
