Brazilian National Tourist Board’s plan to erect a 40-meter statue near Primrose Hill in London

Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Christ the Redeemer statue is a world famous Brazilian landmark that has been visited by millions of tourists around the world. But the Brazilian National Tourist Board’s plan to erect a 40-meter high replica of the statue near Primrose Hill in London has drawn negative responses from the public.

The Brazilian Tourism Board wants to erect the statue to promote the handover of the Olympics from London in 2012 to
Rio de Janeiro in 2016. The British government will be promoting London as an Olympic venue in countries around the world, including Brazil. Images of London will be projected onto the side of Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro this summer. The Brazilian Tourism Board sees the proposed replica statue as a similar form of promotion.
