The Seven Wonders of Brazil is a list of important historical monuments in the country, similar to the Seven Wonders of the World, compiled by the Greek poet and writer Antipater of Sidon. It was determined through a competition promoted by Caras magazine, in partnership with HSBC bank.
In Brazil, the selection of the Seven Wonders raised discussions mainly about the domestic tourism sector. Debates raged between those who were against the competitions and those who supported them, stating that this could lead to improvements in tourism in the different regions of Brazil, not just in the Southeast and Northeast.
Caras and HSBC competition
In 2008, the contest promoted by Caras magazine in partnership with HSBC bank produced a list of seven Brazilian monuments with the objective of appreciating local patrimony. The selection, made through popular vote, had the support of the former Minister of Tourism, Marta Suplicy, who considered the competition "valid". However, like the election of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, it was not supported by UNESCO.
Through an online election, readers of the magazine could choose their seven favorite places from among 30 wonders, which were previously selected based on their historical and cultural importance. The poll lasted three and a half months, received half a million votes and closed on December 31.
