- Abstract
The development of tourism in Brazil is a historic challenge for public and private institutions. The country boasts cultural, social, and natural attractions that support its insertion in the world tourism route, but the limitations, peculiar to a country with its degree of economic development, impose a trade-off between the tourism sector and other economic sectors. The period between 2002 and 2017 covers the decision making and hosting of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympics Games. In 2016, the city of Rio de Janeiro hosted the Olympic Games with five other cities, which welcomed the football matches. The events corroborated the stop-and-go perspective of the Brazilian tourism development and stimulated this study. This study shows the impact of corruption on the development of mega-events, as well as the economic and tourist results of the period. It consists of an exploratory approach, with a review of the literature and national media publications, while considering practices of corruption disclosed by the newspapers in digital format and public access, concerning the operationalization of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, as well as the 2016 Olympic Games. The dilemmas arose from allegations of corruption among public, private, and public-private organizations, which were confirmed by practices of passive and active corruption that culminated in the conviction of those involved.
