The World Cup was responsible for generating 1 million jobs in the country, of which about 700,000 were formal. The information was released today (19) by Embratur president, Vicente Neto, during a lecture on the Impact of Major Events in the Brazilian Economy in the Media Centre FIFA, in the south of Rio de Janeiro.
"This represents 15% of total jobs created during the Dilma government," he commented to inform that only during the World Cup's impact on the Brazilian economy will be R$ 6.5 billion for services to tourists. "In 2013, only in chain of tourism was R$ 6.7 billion of inflows into the country, foreign exchange income with international tourism. We are the sixth tourism economy in the world and the first in South America, "Neto said.
For the researcher of the Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), Peter Trengrouse, the value - compared to the Gross Domestic Product of R$ 4.5 trillion is negligible. However, he believes that the impact of the World Cup in Brazilian economy will be much higher than in South Africa "In Brazil, soccer moves a lot more people and that is why we have 3 million Brazilian tourists and 500,000 foreign tourists in this cup" commented.
According to the professor of the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) Lamartine Costa, projections of economic impacts of large events are not valid in general, because usually oversized. "We have to wait to finish the World Cup to know the real impact of the event on the economy," he said. "Great events always bring benefits, like oil, it also brings many risks," said the professor alluded to rich countries oil, but with enormous social and economic inequalities.
Lamartine argued that the current model of mega events is unsustainable and must be redesigned. "They are huge and practically impossible things to be organized efficiently," he said citing examples of how failures in the canopies of England and South Africa "In addition, research shows that in all countries that have made the number of events participating in sports has fallen.'s events have caused the original meaning of these games is that the sport is lost, "he said. The teacher recalled that several cities in Europe withdrew their nominations for the next Winter Games.
The researcher FGV also agreed that we need to reframe the way states and international organizations organize major sporting events. "This model of Cup and Olympics no longer holds. Parties are great, do not generate major changes," he said in criticizing the heavy spending by the states, while the higher profit goes to the organizers of the event entities. "What we saw were government secretaries [serving] as secretary of FIFA, striving to fulfill many requirements," he who challenged the reasonableness of some requirements said.
Pedro Trengrouse also criticized the lack of public viewing events in major cities in Brazil. "The people can not pay the bill and get out of the Cup," opined the researcher argued that create spaces with shows and exhibitions of games in public places for people who failed to buy tickets was an obligation of governments. "It is unacceptable that Brazilians are watching the World Cup in Brazil in the same way as seen in Japan."
The president of Embratur not commented the opinions of the researcher PedroTrengrouse and teacher Lamartine da Costa.
