“…When the Brazilian football team managed to become world champions in 2002, the country experienced a new phase of economic and industrial growth and a period of optimism and euphoria [8]. Brazil has the most professional football players than any other country in the world (CIES Football Observatory, 2020).…”

Brazil has had a very big influence in football for years, with numerous players and coaches having secured playing and coaching contracts in leagues worldwide. Ironically, how Brazil has become so successful in producing so many supernaturally talented players has scarcely received scholarly attention. Therefore, the current study aimed to reach a deeper understanding of how supernaturally talented players often emerge from Brazil. Six coaches and 18 players from Sã o Paolo second division league clubs, and four sports science experts from Universidade de Sã o Paolo, were involved in this study. A qualitative study design was conducted where data were collected using an open-ended semi-structured in-depth interview, observations, and field notes during a three-month attachment program in Sã o Paolo. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. As a result, seven core themes emerged: football culture, appreciation culture, futebol de vá rzea, Futebol de Salao (Futsal), small-sided game, winning mentality, and competition structure. Exchange programs involving coaches, players, sports coaching students and sports science experts should be seriously carried out between Brazil and developing countries in football.

“…As a diverse country, Brazil has poorly resolved historical issues, and it has experienced a very different reality from the imagery perpetuated throughout the 20th century. Although Brazil has a very diverse culture and many possible tourism destinations and attractions, the white sand beaches in Rio de Janeiro (Schallhorn, 2020) and the Amazon region are still foremost in foreigners’ perceptions of the country (Mataruna-dos-Santos, 2020).…”

“…In the 2010s, there was an attempt to diversify this image; during this time, Brazil successfully secured two major sporting events, the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. While both of these events helped to increase tourists’ intentions to travel to Brazil (Schallhorn, 2020), they failed to achieve significant growth in terms of international tourist numbers and revenue (Mataruna-dos-Santos, 2020) (see Figure 2).…”

Purpose Different from most academic publications about tourism in Brazil, this paper provides an overarching and comprehensive perspective. Analysing key developments, and focusing on the period 2000–2019, this paper also considers long-standing structural issues that hinder tourism development. Although this viewpoint paper deals with Brazil, very similar issues can be identified for many countries worldwide. Design/methodology/approach This viewpoint paper is a combination of reflections by leading Brazilian tourism academics; most are members of ABRATUR, the International Academy for the Development of Tourism Research in Brazil. This paper uses secondary data from the grey (e.g. government reports) and academic literature to support this opinion paper. The tourism-related topics covered in this paper include economics, policy and planning, marketing, transport, nature-based tourism, gastronomy, hospitality and education, amongst others. Findings Brazil has missed several unique opportunities to place it as a destination of international renown. Since the 1990s, efforts to support regional tourism development have achieved only moderate success as political instability, violence and corruption have impacted tourism. A lack of a coordinated approach between the various levels of government, a shortage of tourism data and a long-term supra-government marketing campaign, among other factors, have meant Brazil has missed several critical opportunities in the 2010s to establish itself as a leading tourism destination in the global market. Originality/value From leading tourism academic experts in Brazil, a unique opinion paper offers an overview of the critical development issues in 2000–2019. The paper presents matters that have hindered potential tourism contributions to the largest nation in South America. While these matters may be specific to Brazil, many of these challenges are not dissimilar to those in other emerging (democratic) nations. The authors offer several public policies and technical recommendations to scaffold tourism development towards the 2030 agenda.

“…In a study about the perception of German tourists about Brazil after the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics, Schallhorn (2019) observed that tourists positively perceived and evaluated safety. This item of the author's questionnaire was rated higher after the 2014 FIFA World Cup than before the event.…”

The Rio 2016 Summer Olympics was a mega-event that changed the Brazilian tourism structure, particularly in the city of Rio de Janeiro. This article focuses on the evaluation of the quality of services offered to tourists during the event, analyzing the tourists' perception of quality. It is a quantitative, exploratory, descriptive research based on the Tourqual indicators and using a survey. The study interviewed 1912 tourists throughout the event. Data were treated and analyzed adopting descriptive statistics, student's t-test for mean comparison, and Spearman correlation, to define which indicators most influenced the result of the evaluation performed. The event's evaluation index was 9.28 out of ten. The results showed that the indicators that most influenced the positive perception were 'comfort, beauty, acoustics, and temperature of the Olympic venues,' 'variety of activities,' and 'transportation'.
