Under the leadership of Andres Izarra, Venezuela’s Ministry of Tourism is putting into action a number of new initiatives designed to boost international visits to the Caribbean country and tap into the tremendous potential for economic growth that the industry represents.

The short term goal is to increase visits to Venezuela from 782,000 last year to one million in 2013, with the beach resort island of Margarita becoming the centrepiece of the tourist industry.

“We believe that with tourism, we have a tool for the generation of foreign exchange and for making the economy more dynamic quickly and effectively” Izarra said.

 

 

 

To make this happen, the socialist government is increasing the number of planes in the fleet of the state airline, Conviasa as well as strengthening links with Northern Brazil, an important source of tourist dollars.

With heavy investment in infrastructure, Venezuela government sets sights on tourism development “By the end of the year, six planes should be arriving and President Maduro has approved the purchase of seven more… This is going to help build air connections in all of Venezuela”, Izarra informed.

An original letter, written and signed by the Liberator Simon Bolivar, was incorporated into the Venezuelan General Archives. The goal is for it to be preserved there and put on display so all Venezuelans may learn about it. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro made the announcement from Miraflores Palace during a meeting with socialist governors. He then showed and read the letter, which remains in perfect condition. The Foreign Minister, Elias Jaua, had previously handed the letter to the president. “It is an original letter. It is a historic jewel,” said Maduro as he showed it and explained that Bolivar had addressed it to the Peruvian Congress after his successful battles in the south. Bolivar states in the letter: “I have finished my mission. I am willing to relinquish my appointment, as well as the full powers granted to me, back to the Congress of Peru.” “Comrades and combatants, this is an example of unselfish ethics,” Maduro said. President Maduro explained that the letter was found in the United Kingdom by the meticulous researcher Samuel Moncada during his tenure as Venezuelan Ambassador in London VTV, Sunday 31 May 2013
