In 1966, when the Brazilian Tourism Board (EMBRATUR) was first created, its main objective was to foster tourism to help increase employment and the generation of income. Since January 2003, with the creation of the Ministry of Tourism, EMBRATUR’s efforts focus on the promotion, marketing, and support of the commercialization of the Brazilian products, services and tourist destinations abroad. Awareness and communication are the primary goal. This is achieved through participation in international tourism fairs, seminars, E-learning and FAM trips focused on trade professionals, as well as promoting business events and press trips to Brazil. The creation of the Brazil Brand helps to promote the image of both the country’s tourism industry and of its potential export products in foreign markets.

The Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (APEX-Brasil) has the goal of boosting Brazilian exports. The Agency has 326 projects underway with Brazilian industry or trade associations representing 70 manufacturing and services sectors. It has contributed to the country's strong trade surplus by diversifying the range of Brazil's exports, opening up new markets, consolidating and expanding traditional export markets, and particularly by fostering the remarkable growth in sales of higher-added-value items.

The Embassy of Brazil in Washington, D.C. represents the Brazilian Government in the United States and works on a wide range of issues, such as political, social, economic, commercial and cultural affairs.
