Exchange Rates Makes Luxury Travel to South America 50% Less Expensive

Salvador, Brazil, November 19, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Dollar exchange rate has seen an unprecedented rise in the last months. The latest increase was set off by the election of Barack Obama as the next President of the United Stated, as economists and analysts worldwide and international news agencies announce: “Dollar buying kicked in shortly after media projected a victory by Obama as the outlook for a change in the ruling party helped investors become slightly more hopeful about the outlook for the United States.” (Reuters, November 5th).

This optimism is based on a long-term outlook. Analysts say that thanks to the election of Obama investors and consumers have a more clearly outlined perspective of the future, which allows expectations of the exchange rate to becoming more stable.
