Tourism in Venezuela grows in options and progresses towards socialism

Progressive incorporation of organized communities, communal councils and other ways of people's participation working to support tourist activities, together with public and private institutions, is the best way to describe the actual stage of tourism in Venezuela.
Following the principles of participatory and protagonic democracy and the values of cooperation, joint responsibility and solidarity, different social actors join efforts aiming to position the tourist activity as a strategic factor of social and economic diversity and sustainable development of Venezuela. Following such premise, the Ministry of People's Power for Tourism (Mintur, Spanish acronym) has stressed its focus on recovering the tourist assets which were in hands of the private sector or the State's through other institutions. The statement was issued by the Minister of that office, Olga Cecilia Azuaje, during an exclusive interview with the Bolivarian Agency of News (ABN). Azuaje recalled that last year, during first stage of her administration, she focused all the activity in recovering the deteriorated, abandoned and even out of order spaces. 'The idea is that Mintur, as ruling body, start to manage and commercialize those assets, refuting the allegation about that all the spaces rescued by the State lose their qualities; on the contrary, those are in better conditions and more affordable for the population,' she stated.
