Photography Courtesy of: Efrén Hernández Arias (Photographer) Recovering Venezuela Why “Recovering Venezuela”? After knowing that what I wanted to do to help my country was a magazine, I realized that I had many topics to explore. I knew from the beginning that what I wanted to do was show reasons why Venezuela should be recovered, by displaying all the beautiful things that the country had, and also all the resources that make it such a wonderful country. But even though I knew I could make infinite articles showing Venezuela’s beauty, I knew it wasn’t enough. To complete my dream, I had to do something else. I had to show how Venezuela can be recovered, and that’s when the idea came in. As a part of the magazine, I wanted to include statements from Venezuelans like me, who had to leave the country without wanting to; and it occurred me that I could interview these Venezuelans for answers on what they could do to recover their country. And why recover Venezuela? This magazine, as briefly explained previously, is divided in two main parts: Why recover Venezuela and how to recover Venezuela. The first part, which begins on the following page, shows first how Venezuela was before, and how it is now, then it shows Venezuela’s natural and urban beauty: the country’s landscapes, touristic landmarks, and its world records. Yes, Guinness World Records. We have a lot of those. This part also shows the natural resources that makes the country unique; you’d be surprised how many precious resources Venezuela has. When you finish reading the whole part, you’ll have an idea why Venezuela should be saved, and you should be ready to read the next part, how to save Venezuela. Happy reading!

Maximiliam and I Photography courtesy of http://janvidal100.blogspot.com.co/20 10/06/un-contrato-la-venezolana.html “Economically speaking, during those 40 years there was economic stability, a growth of infrastructure, of the economy as such; with low inflation and low unemployment, especially in the first governments of Rómulo Betancourt and Raúl Leoni, and later during the presidency of Rafael Caldera, in which economic stability continued. But even so, because of international factors such as the Persian Gulf War, and general OPEC problems that caused the price of oil to rise, there was an oil boom at the end of Rafael Caldera's first presidency and the beginning of the first government of Carlos Andrés Pérez. During this stage, mainly from 1974 to 1978, Venezuela lived a period where it was known as the Saudi Venezuela, because Venezuelan oil prices rose “The most successful stage in the history of from 2.10 to 16.30 dollars (Prieto, 2012); And Venezuela is understood to be the years 1958 to Venezuela received an immense amount of 1999.

DC (JC/SW) 179230/1 © UCLES 2020 [Turn over 2 Fig. 1.1 for Question 1 Venezuela is a country in South America. It used to be the wealthiest nation in its region, thanks to its massive oil reserves. However, after two decades of corruption, civil unrest and widespread crime, as well as the fluctuating price of oil, Venezuela is in danger of collapse. Inflation rates in the country are projected to reach 2000 per cent. People in the capital, Caracas, are living in poor conditions and supplies of food are very scarce. The Venezuelan currency, the bolivar, has become so devalued that people have started to trade with meat. The Venezuelan government now has a new plan to bring the country back from collapse: tourists. “Tourism is the oil that never runs out,” Venezuela’s tourism minister recently said. Venezuela’s president has already started preparing for an inflow of tourists, announcing a luxury refurbishment of an outdated, state-run hotel in Caracas, which he promises to be the ‘first seven-star hotel in Venezuela’. Before its economic downturn, Venezuela was a premier holiday hotspot, due to its spectacular Caribbean coastline and the world’s highest waterfall, Angel Falls.

  • Tourism in Venezuela Decreasing Every Day
    TOURISM IN VENEZUELA DECREASING EVERY DAY The president of Venezuela’s Higher Council of Tourism (Conseturismo), Jesús Irausquín, said that tourism in Venezuela is decreasing, to the point that during the present holiday season, accommodation services reported only 45% occupancy rate. “The problem we have with tourism in Venezuela is that it is decreasing, that we are not strengthening how effective tourism can be for the rest of the country,” Irausquín told reporters in Caracas, in the middle of an event for the World Tourism Day. He pointed out that the preliminary reports for July, August and September show occupancy rates ranging between 35 and 45%, which he considered as an “extremely negative” sign since that quarter was considered “one of the most important seasons that Venezuela has,” same as the month of December and Holy Week. For his part, Humberto Figuera, president of the Association of Venezuelan Airlines (ALAV), said that domestic connections “are unstable because they are too few for the current demand,” but held that “at least no destination has been removed” in recent months. “Airlines maintain their frequency (...) the balance is looking positive little by little,” he mentioned. Figuera noted as important that domestic airlines, with the consent of the National Institute of Civil Aviation (INAC), “are reaching international destinations and the revenues have been able to ease and minimize the losses that they see every time they send a plane on a domestic route,” where prices are regulated by the Government. Despite having the largest oil reserves in the world and natural attractions, Venezuela has been hit by a severe economic crisis that has impacted economic activity, including tourism in Venezuela, which translates into widespread shortages and hyperinflation.

  • Aboriginal Tourism in Venezuela: Walking Lightly on the Land by Lauren Walker
    1996 (April - December) | Links to explore Aboriginal Tourism in Venezuela: Walking Lightly on the Land by Lauren Walker ORPIA members welcome delegates to aboriginal tourism workshop (Photo: Chusa Gines) Every year, thousands of travelers head off the "beaten path" in search of local atmosphere and cultural enrichment in exotic locations. Under the right circumstances, the meeting of foreign tourists with local inhabitants can result in much goodwill and mutual appreciation. At its best, tourism of this kind creates a kinship among cultures. At its worst, however, tourism disrupts indigenous communities and, because of the increased development and traffic, adversely affects the sustainability of local environments. Such has been the case in the tropical jungles of Amazonas, in southern Venezuela, which some 60,000 indigenous people call home. Insensitive tourism operators there have herded throngs of foreigners through native villages without permission. Unwelcome visitors have poked through private homes, trampled through sacred places, and disrupted religious ceremonies, leaving in their wake a stream of litter and a sense of violation on the part of the local inhabitants. Not surprisingly, the Amazonians have been reluctant to share their world with "outsiders." Birth of ORPIA As their lands and communities disintegrated under influences beyond their control, Venezuelan Indians were challenged to find a way to survive and prosper in the modern economic world without destroying their traditional culture or their fragile environment. In 1993, representatives from all 19 Amazonian tribes held the First Congress of Indigenous Peoples of the Amazon in the state capital of Puerto Ayacucho to address the key issues affecting their lives.
