Also interesting is that although some people do mention Joao Pessoa, no one on the forums has mentioned Alagoas yet but it seems to be quite popular (although nowhere near as popular as the top 4) with international arrivals - does anyone know anything about that state? Almost all of the arrivals outside of the top four were to Maceió in Alagoas

Alagoas is the state to the north of me....Sergipe. They have some of, if not the, most beautiful beaches in all of Brazil. Personally I don't like the city very much but as stated....beautiful beaches.
Maceio has been overrun with Italians lately, as many cities throughout the northeast. Unfortunatel they can be generalized, in my experience and opinion, as sex tourists. And this is not the type of tourism Brazil needs. You can believe me when I say that generally Brazilians absolutely do not like this type of tourist or even investor and normally produces a negative sentiment and/or effect. Places like Fortaleza have become "hot" tourist destinations over the last 5 years or so but generally speaking are not a "class A" type of tourists or investors. Fortaleza is now known as one of the largest destinations in the world for sex tourism. Not exactly the ideal place to bring ones family.
