Cup 2014

How Does the Influx of Money from World Cup 2014 Impact the Hospitality Sector in Brazil?

The hospitality sector in Brazil is being deeply affected by the influx of money from the announcement of the 2014 World Cup (Brazil, 2010). Even though the event is not taking place until next year, changes are already taking place in Brazil. Stadiums will be one of the largest issues for the hospitality industry and the 2014 World Cup.
