Brazil may not be football World Cup winners but Latin America's success story is an "Economic World Cup Winner" according to CNN International.

Charting the performance of the countries which remained in the latter stages of the recent World Cup, CNN's Quest Means Business primetime programme was keen to find out more about booming Brazil, one of the hot favourites for the title.

Seeking expert advice, the global news network visited the central London offices of Experience International where resident expert, Dale Anderson, himself an investor in Brazil, spoke passionately about why Brazil is THE place to invest.

Dale explained to viewers why Brazil offers investors the complete package due to its strong economic growth, high levels of foreign direct investment, a wealth of natural resources, low levels of national debt, no restrictions on foreign ownership, availability of freehold titles and straightforward buying process. In addition the rapid growth of the Brazilian middle-class with access to mortgages provides a viable exit strategy for the future.

The World Cup Effect

Dale also remarked on how the World Cup, which was watched by over 32 billion people worldwide, has allowed hosts South Africa to shine in a very positive light and now all eyes are looking to the next host nation - Brazil. He says,

"The impact of the 2014 World Cup on Brazil will be significant with over 600,000 visitors expected, boosting GDP by nearly $30 million."

Some $310 million has already been invested into the host cities which include Natal, Recife and Fortaleza in the burgeoning north east where Dale has invested personally according to the Brazilian Ministry of Tourism. Land and property values in this region are forecast to grow by up to 20% in the run up to the World Cup as demand for quality accommodation rises.

One development which is seeing interest from not only Brazilian nationals, who have already purchased 40% of plots, but also international investors is Tambaba Country Club Resort. Comprising 150 hectares of prime tropical paradise, 20 minutes south of the historic city of Joao Pessoa and 45 minutes from Recife, Tambaba is modelled on the highly successful European Center Parcs concept offering 450m2 premium land plots with 148% return on investment in 5 years from only £18,333.
