Venezuela and Turismo.Travel 2.0, this time different. venezuel_flag

A country wanting, that beautiful slogan said that in the 70 promoted to Venezuela. It was a prelude of what later would become an advertising spread throughout the world, in its emphasis on tourism values then being recognized in the country. The years have gone by and the efforts by some to reinforce this image and develop tourism in Venezuela have had little success. The structure needed to develop "Gold of the Adventures" in the country has been absent all the time.

You're worth the most studied plans, ultramodern buildings, or bolder action if it has not developed a real program of public awareness of benefits, social and economic, that tourism is going to bring. The existing human resources for the sales and promotion to an international market is low throughout the international standard, since a single 20% of tour

packages are sold by a Venezuelan else is sold out. In the rest of South America, the total is 15%. The universities of Venezuela

do not teach students the reality and come unprepared for the real and virtual worlds.

It is important to create a new academy to teach students the new technology and ways of doing sales and promotions using the technology today. That served the linen sheets, Bohemian crystal, the silver or the five stars of the facade, if a hotel staff had no proper training on how to make authentic hosts. We said we in those sixties, after attending a National Assembly of Tourism, back in Barlovento on Higuerote (and another in 2005 with members of the new government), which Venezuela had a glorious future, and that the country could become a major tourist destination if they put the necessary foundations for doing so, primarily based on "awareness" of the harmonious development of tourism would bring to their population. We insist - we've been stressing all these years in our work release - the urgent need to educate Venezuelans in the realization that tourism is the panacea that spreads the wealth proportionately among all its people.

It is the most obvious, safe and effective means of generating fairly-paid jobs, quality of life stable, provided by an education based on the culture of peace, and generating thousands of sequences transformed into future projects requiring consolidate and preserve our traditions history, our colonial treasures, our most varied and beautiful signs of identity ... therefore advocates that the more specific "sustainable development". We return, then, to address the issue before the stage as the country begins to offer wanting to join the "boom" of the Caribbean, unstoppable fate that will grow in coming years, not only for its beautiful and fabulous beaches but for its stunning historical legacy must be preserved at the expense of whatever, with serious programs and works well made, without falling into the hands of true predators ignorant, as we have seen in person - precisely in this part of Central America are able to "restore" cement the historic ruins of some works made monumental stone upon by the most skilled artisans of the time of the discovery.

Conserve, that magic word that we do not tire of repeating, though no heed us and punish us with many enemies. Store has been the key to tourism through the rubble of Athens, or the most traditional streets of the beautiful cities of old Europe, bringing them the welfare and prosperity to all its inhabitants, from the boot, the merchant of La Bodeguita, the driver, or the seller of souvenirs.

Tourism development spreads the wealth among all people, where even the humble will be favored by evolution. It is the phenomenon (if you want to call it) most important of our time. Tourism encourages us to look after our house. To put things in their true position, to be clean and tidy.

That must be taught.

It is not acceptable for the removal of the gardens in cities by replacing the plants and flowers by evil-looking stones. Incredible, if not true. All these sad experiences that we are discussing are not exactly exclusive to Venezuela. In developed destinations listed among the "Destination Success", we watch in awe how they continue to deteriorate day by day their "fingerprints," victims of speculation, lack of planning and the most authentic nonsense, all supposedly in the shadow of the most sublime ignorance, which hides in the arrogance of power to enforce their opinions or whims, if not hiding something else more shameful, or sad news lately, including airline Transaven.

Venezuela is a new world for tourism yet.

It has thousands of resources to contribute to the maelstrom of tourism in the 21st century.

Preparing your people to take on this challenge is more than a necessity if we really want to be somebody in the world of tourism.

We have an "income situation," assured by our environment. Whether we realize exploit our resources allow us the absolute guarantee of success. Let's start with what to do, so it is proven worldwide, instructing our people about the benefits they will bring tourism.

Teaching them what to do to care for, to show with pride our most beautiful traditions, our fields, our small and beautiful colonial corners, our rivers, mountains, parks ... Los Roques, the plains of Apure, the beaches of Margarita, Chichiriviche, the peaks of the Andes, or the jungles of Guyana ... Angel Falls or Cave of Guacharo ... the thousand and one way is Venezuela where tourism is their economic and social solution. We know this from experience.
