Therefore consumers in the current recessive market environment are more willing to work with so-called collaborative consumption, even though Brazil is a country with one of the highest crime rate and the level of trust of consumers is lower than in other countries. Sharing economy pioneer offering short-term accommodation Airbnb used FIFA World Cup to bring sharing economy to Brazil and before the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro the company is booming. The collaborative economy projects spread the values and culture of sharing and collaboration in other Brazilian cities. At the same time worldwide service, Uber (mobile-app-based transportation network) was banned from the country. This Master's thesis aims to analyze the cultural and legal environment in the frame of sharing economy in Brazil, in the field of gastronomy.
