The opening of a tender for the construction of a new hotel in Brazil’s capital city, Brasilia, this week could be a prime opportunity for relevant Australian groups looking to make a move into the country.
Infraero, Brazil’s federal body for airports, is developing the new 150 bed hotel in an area just a few hundred metres from the city’s international airport, primarily to cater for passengers in transit.
The project is expected to cost around R$13.5 million and international groups are able to bid for the work. The tender closes September 15 and the work is expected to take 18 months. The winning bidder will also have the right to develop a number of associated commercial facilities, such as shops and restaurants.
