Ceará is well accustomed to high visitor figures and since lockdown, the state has become the favourite place for Brazilian staycations. And with this return to popularity, new destinations are emerging as top spots. Flecheiras is one of them as is clearly seen in the 100% hotel occupancy during the November holiday weekend.
A recent survey found that Fortaleza is the most popular holiday destination for Brazilians in summer 2021. For the forthcoming holiday season over Christmas and New Year, the capital of Ceará topped the rankings dominated by Northeast Brazil. The region took 7 out of the top 10 places confirming its position as favourite among Brazilians holidaymakers.
Ceará tourism registered the highest increase in Brazil in August compared to July. The rise of 85.4% was over four times higher than the national average and almost twice as much as the state's nearest competitor, Bahia with a 48% increase. Analysts believe the figure shows that tourism in Ceará is back on track after lockdown and augurs well for the summer season.
