The extended holidays are great news for the Tourism sector, which last year resulted in 13.9 million trips, injecting R$ 28.84 billion into the Brazilian economy, according to the Ministry of Tourism (MTur).

But not everything is rosy, while sectors like Tourism celebrate, there are also those who predict significant losses, such as the retail sector.

The São Paulo State Federation of Trade in Goods, Services and Tourism (Fecomércio-SP) estimates that with so many holidays this year, the national retail sector will suffer a reduction in sales of around R$ 11 million.

However, the economist from Fecomércio, Guilherme Dietzer, explains that despite the drops in sales, there are no economic losses, as the money spent on purchases is reallocated to other areas of the economy. Tiradentes, on Tuesday, April 21, and Corpus Christi on June 11, a Thursday, are the only holidays that are not adjacent to Saturday and Sunday.

The Carnival and Easter holidays will fall on February 24 and 25 and April 10, respectively. Labor Day and Christmas fall on a Friday. Meanwhile, the holidays for Brazil’s Independence, Our Lady of Aparecida, and All Souls’ Day will fall on Monday.
