“The border regions of Rio Grande do Sul state in Brazil play a strategic role in the economic and social development of the state. Located along the international borders with Argentina and Uruguay, these areas serve as connection points between Brazil and its neighbouring countries, fostering regional integration within the framework of the Common Market of the South (Mercosur).
This privileged geographic position turns the borders into important corridors for international trade, transportation and the movement of people, while also promoting intense cultural exchange and requiring geopolitical attention in terms of security and international cooperation.”
This is the 1st paragraph from the report available in Portuguese and English (from page 75) entitled ‘Shopping tourism and regional development: An economic study of land border duty-free shops in Brazil Shopping tourism and regional development: An economic study of land border duty-free shops in Brazil’.
For anyone wanting a better understanding of land border duty free shops in Brazil, this is well worth a read.
