Brazil tourism bureau mistakenly shares tourist’s post about getting robbed

“I just spent 3 days in Rio with my family, and in those 3 days my family and I were robbed & my 9-year-old sister witnessed a violent robbery,” it continued.

Withlai tagged Rio de Janeiro in her post, which was then was re-posted on the tourism board’s Instagram story — a move that the Embratur has since called a mistake.The tourist had two experiences with crime in Rio de Janeiro.“Our agency is working to promote tourism and publicise the drop in violent crime in 2019.”

“It occurs more often in large cities and during festivals, such as Carnaval. Don’t go out alone or at night. Avoid isolated areas, including beaches.

Did it happened in the tourist areas? Where was she staying? Tourist areas or in the neighborhood she grew up in w/ family ? Sounds like she's blowing this way out of proportion.

Been to Rio; it’s deadliest of the crime capitals when it comes to a tourist destination!! Highly avoidable unless you can afford to live on the copacabana beach 🏖 in a 5-star hotel and use recommended taxis to ChristTheRedeemer
