Growth in Brazil continues full steam ahead, creating even better prospects for investors and potential overseas property buyers. One thing remains constant: the country’s policies to maintain high standards in eco-tourism and development laws, while keeping a close eye on irregularities to the latest rules and regulations. David Beckham’s planned academy has passed the government’s strict scrutiny to provide an interesting contribution to the Natal area.

A recent project to be approved by the authorities is Mr. David Beckham’s very own Football Academy. British newspaper, The Daily Mirror, announced earlier this week the former England captain’s decision to launch a Beckham-branded football centre in Cabo Sao Roque, near the popular tourist destination of Natal. The project is due to be completed in 2014, coinciding with the FIFA Wold Cup in Brazil, and will boast a mini-stadium, small sports complex, training facilities and accommodation. The academy is sure to become a major attraction for tourists worldwide, suitably boosting this area’s fast growing investment climate.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian authorities are scrutinizing all licences granted on new developments in a bid to ensure internal environmental policies are met. The first international eco-resort to be put under the microscope is “Grand Golf Natal”. Local newspaper, ‘Tribuna Do Norte’. explains that State prosecutors have requested IDEMA (Institute for Environmental Protection) to declare void the pre-license agreement for the development. Prosecutors became suspicious upon receiving a report from IDEMA, created in just over two months, that neither explains the environmental impact of the resort, nor gives details on water supply to the development, or appropriate ways to treat waste.

Brazil is evidently implementing efficient and real changes in its development policies. With the corruption of such policies a difficult prospect, the Brazilian environment is ensured a protected future. this sets the path clear for fantastic new eco-friendly infrastructures, such as the Beckham Academy to boost visitor numbers and rental returns.
