10 1INTRODUCTION The investment site covering an area of ha is located in northeastern Brazil in the state of Rio Grande do Norte in the city of Baia Formosa between two state capitals of the Northeast region Natal, state of Rio Grande do Norte (95 km) and João Pessoa, state of Paraiba (120 km). The new airport, 90 km from Baía Formosa, is supposed to become in the nearest future a strategic airline hub in Brazil. A strong incentive for its development is the recent decrease of the tax for aviation fuel from 17% to 12%, and for international flights to 9% lowest rate in Brazil.

12 1INTRODUCTION History The northeastern tip of South America, Cabo São Roque, 20 miles (32 km) to the north of Natal and the closest point to Europe from Latin America, was first visited by European navigators in Between Portuguese expeditions led by Americo Vespucio discovered this territories inhabited by the Potiguar tribe. For decades thereafter, no permanent European settlement was established in the area. In 1597, after some years during which French pirates, led by Jacques Riffault, established regular commercial activities with the native population, the ninth Portuguese Governor-General of Brazil, Francisco de Sousa, ordered the expulsion of the buccaneers taking possession of the region for the Portuguese Crown. Last century, Natal benefited from the growth of the industries of salt (the north of Rio Grande do Norte is the largest producer in Brazil) and petroleum (the largest inland Brazilian reserves are in the State); in the past decade the state has grown in production of sugar cane used for sugar, alternate fuel and the typical alcoholic beverage Cachaça. In the neighboring state of Pernambuco, on the outskirts of Recife, lies the historical city of Olinda at approximately three hours south from the project site. Besides its natural beauty, Olinda is also one of the most important of Brazil s cultural centers. Declared in 1982 a Historical and Cultural Patrimony of Humanity by the UNESCO, Olinda relives the magnificence of the past every year during the Carnival, in the rhythm of frevo, maracatu and other rhythms. Olinda portraits one of the best remnants of Brazilian colonial architecture. 12 PROJECT CONTEXT

30 3MASTERPLAN The basic concept of use and occupation of the area suggested for the ECO ESTRELA Project is entirely integrated with nature, aimed at a harmonious coexistence of real estate, sports and leisure equipments with natural features of relevant environmental interest that shall be protected on the investment site. The concept for the investment is based on the development of a range of sustainable tourist activities kept in harmony with local nature and following all criteria and occupation indexes established in the relevant environmental legislation. The ECO ESTRELA Project is located 95 km South from Natal, capital of the state of Rio Grande do Norte and at a distance of 120 km North of João Pessoa capital of the state of Paraíba. 30 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INVESTMENT

31 Located in one of the most privileged areas of the Brazilian Northeast, considering its touristic and real estate potential, the investment site lies on the closest spot in South America to Europe and Africa and covers an area of 2.571,00 ha and has a coastline of approx. 6,5km. The ECO ESTRELA Project is expected to host areas destined for resorts, hotels, residential condos, technological park, commerce and services, horse riding center, Projeto Tamar Center (Center for Turtle Research and Protection) as well as green areas and a golf course. The junction of natural beauty and an orderly occupation is aimed at the creation of a sustainable tourist destination focused on high standard local and international niche markets. The suggested occupation model respects public space through the creation of elements that will emphasize the landscape value and natural road system. 31
