Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Yes, it's still 2015, but as USA Today says, "it's never too early to plan your 2016 travels". With so many hot destinations around the globe, "where should I go?" can be difficult to answer. According to Lonely Planet, though, Brazil is a fine choice - on April 29, the travel guide named that country the top one to visit in 2016. "As if endless strands of coast and mountains splashed with rainforest didn't already add up to an unfair share of heaven , Brazil held one of the greatest sporting events in the world, the 2014 FIFA World Cup, and the 2016 Summer Olympics, another greatest one, will be followed ," explained Lonely Planet. Brazil is the largest and most populous country in South America. It boasts the Amazon, the world's largest jungle , which is home to a variety of plants and animals. But the great landscape is not the only thing Brazilians take pride in. The colors green and yellow might make most people think of Brazil's soccer team even more than its national flag. Soccer is more than a sport in Brazil; it's a way of life. In fact, the World Cup brings Brazilians together. It is interesting to note that the general elections in Brazil are usually held during the same year as the World Cup. Political parties try to take advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm created by soccer to inspire political energy. Alongside soccer, samba is another emblem of Brazil. The country's most traditional dance is highlighted every February at the Rio Carnival, which is one of the world's biggest. "Brazil has left its second-class nation status ," said former Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in 2009 after Rio de Janeiro was awarded the 2016 Olympics. Brazil's growing economy, fueled by oil and aircraft factories, has made it more than just a nation of samba, soccer and beaches. These days, it might just be the best tourist destination in the world. Question: The authors purpose in writing the article is to _ .
