GW,
I didn't say 80% I said 70%, I also did not say every pousada had that sort of occupancy rate. Why don't you give me the names of all the 4 or was it 5 hotels you just dropped into and just casually asked what their occupancy was like? Also what was the name of your Pousada, I don't think I know of any in Pipa with 50 rooms, hotels yes, but pousadas no.
120 deaths on National weekend equals 21,900 per year if you assume that 60 deaths occur each and every day. That isn't 80k at all. That means twice as many people die on the road in the US than Brazil .... Not sure how Pipa will be an extra 30/40 mins from the new airport when they are building new highways everywhere (think new bridge and br101 south of Natal).
As for the profits, if you had done your research you would have found that a lot of people are making profits already both through capital appreciation and rental income. Yes this is not happening in the north yet as most developers are only just starting to build there, but it won't take forever if Natal and certain places south of Natal are any example to go by.
