THE INVESTMENT

The area, in which Palm Beach is located, already attracts great demand from both domestic and international tourists throughout the year.

Fortaleza is now renowned as an international tourist and property investment hotspot, while the eco-friendly nature of the area is of major appeal. Touristic demand for Ceara increased from 773.247 visitors in 1996 to over 1.968.800 in 2005, growing at an average of 8.8% a year.

Infraero, Brazil's public company that manages 97% of the country's airports has seen figures of over 3,031,000 international flight passengers arrive to Fortaleza in November 2007 - up 309,987 the previous year.

Further government expenditure is being devoted to marketing and, within the first quarter of 2008, Ceara is to be represented in no less than five international tourism fairs. This is expected to build further awareness of Ceara as an outstanding place in which to conduct business, visit or live.

Factors such as these prove highly attractive for those looking for the most effective location for their investment, and with the addition of the planned Golf Course and Spa, this demand will continue to grow among investors and tourists alike.


THE EXIT STRATEGIES


The region of Ceara is a growing holiday property investment location and already a popular tourist destination for both the international and domestic market, resulting in an ideal rental investment opportunity.


According to the Ministry of Tourism, tourists who travel to Ceara for leisure tend to opt for hotels, pousadas or rented accommodation. Those who chose to rent, stay an average of 29.5 days, while some 96% of tourists return to Brazil.

THE FACILITIES



2 communal swimming pools
Beach bars and restaurants within walking distance
Local beach offering range of water sports and beach volley ball
Secure private parking for each unit
Athletic court to be used for soccer/football, volleyball, etc.



THE SECURITY

Our recommended legal team for this project has carried out an independent 'Due Diligence Report' on this development. They are completely satisfied with the project after carrying out searches on the following;


The company registration documentation
Title and ownership
The Private Purchase Contract
Planning and administrative permits


The building licenses are due imminently. For this reason the developer has agreed to allow the first contractual payment to be held by the legal firm in escrow, only to be released to the developer upon receipt of the relevant building license. This gives our IPIN members the benefit of added security of their funds.
