Brazil tourists on spending spree
By Laura Bonilla | AFP
Taking advantage of their country's booming economy and strong currency, Brazilian tourists went on a shopping spree abroad last year, spending more than $20 billion, notably in the United States and France... Sydney, a 47-year-old Rio pediatrician who would not give his surname for fear of having problems with customs, travels to the United States twice a year. He told AFP he had returned from Boston this week, where he collected more than 40 boxes of Internet purchases sent to his hotel by his 14-year-old daughter. "Two iPods, one computer, brand clothes and tennis shoes, two cameras. The ease of this type of buying, the security, the quality, the prices, you can't beat that. In Brazil, everything costs twice or three times as much," he said.
