PRESENTATION Dear reader, METHODOLOGY The data presented in this annual report were obtained via a confidential survey conducted with members, who responded to a specific questionnaire regarding their field of activity (accommodations or tour operations). Filling out this questionnaire was optional and it was conducted anonymously by e-mail. The statistics were projected for the totality of members from the answers given in the case of accommodations, they were expanded proportionally to the number of rooms and, for tour operators, to the numbers of employees. It is with great pleasure that we present the first annual report of the Brazilian Luxury Travel Association (BLTA), created four years ago and currently comprised of 24 members, including tourism operators, hotels, pousadas (inns) and resorts in Brazil that serve the luxury market. This annual report comes at an opportune moment, in which the world s eyes are focused on Brazil-- with special attention on tourism, on the eve of the Olympic Games and the World Cup. The data compiled in the following pages help to compose a portrait of this segment that has been gaining more and more importance in the country, which is increasingly better prepared to welcome discerning travelers. One example of this is training: on average, each of our members employees are given 45 hours of training per year. The consolidated results for also attest to growth-- adding up to 12% in hotel revenue and in tour operator revenue. These statistics confirm one characteristic of the luxury travel segment; that it is less susceptible to economic crises. In 2012, despite a decrease documented for the first semester, the sector has recuperated, and projected reservations for the upcoming months are encouraging. It is worth mentioning that this is the first step in our surveying of the sector. It is our intention to continue with further research of our members, presenting the results each year. After all, helping to construct a historical account of luxury tourism in Brazil and identifying the trends in the sector is our responsibility as well. The data compiled in the following pages help to compose a portrait of the luxury travel market in Brazil, which is better prepared to welcome discerning travelers We welcome you. Melissa Fernandes Oliveira President of the BLTA
