“O fim da reciprocidade diplomática beneficiaria a nossa economia”
Overall a good article but they stick this part at the bottom which in my opinion should be the second thing they talk about (after the violence but before the total lack of infrastructure. Alas some people like to cut off their nose to spite their face...

If you eliminate the fee, more Americans will come. They apparently like what they see. They tell friends, and the friends come, too. More people come, and you get more infrastructure. That attracts more people and more "buzz." And then you get a "normal" tourist industry.

If Brazil were serious about increasing tourism, they need to end the reciprocity fee for Americans. I'm guessing the elimination of the cumbersome visa process will increase American tourism, but only a little. It's still $160, which is a lot because few Americans feel they NEED to visit Brazil.

No. The old process will still be valid. There will be some differences regarding visa duration with the e-visa. If I'm not mistaken, the E-visa will have a maximum duration of 2 years, and no more than the duration of your passport. If you wish to apply through the old method, you can still get the 10-year visa. Visa fees will be the same.

OK. Here is a brief recap:
Max Beltrao proposes to eliminate the visa requirement for citizens of the US, Canada, Australia and Japan. This could be extended to other nationalities, e.g. China.
Policy with be similar to what was done around the Olympics.
Idea is to increase tourism; the extra revenue would exceed by far the revenue from the visa requirement and "reciprocity fee".
Initially the move would be for one year and then results reviewed to consider making the changes permanent.
No timeline was mentioned.
