Tourism Ministry Olga
Cecilia Azuaje on
Tuesday highlighted the
logistic and structural
progress of that sector
in 2008, with a record
6.2 percent growth
compared to 2007.
Venezuelans must thank
the huge natural
resources our country
possess, and also the
positive managements
made by the government
in this area, the
official stressed.
Azuaje commented the
tourist sector cashed
5.58 billion dollars
during 2008 in resources
and moved around 42
million tourists.
As compared to 2007, we
increased the quality of
our services and
infrastructures, and we
continue working in the
creation of new legal
standards to support the
development of the
so-called leisure
industry, she indicated.
According to the
official, 18,376
Venezuelans have
benefitted from the
social tourism plan,
aimed at giving poor
people the opportunity
to travel to countries
like Cuba and Dominia at
government´s expenses.
