The delegation of this portfolio and tour operators are emphasizing Venezuelans make known destinations like the plains, forests and beaches, among others.

“A key element in Venezuela is the sun and beach segment. Although historically the Chinese tourist is not going to the beach, there is a trend that is reversed, and there is interest in knowing them, “said the minister.

He said the first day of the event was a success because “the tour operators have asked us a lot to the tourist attractions of Venezuela.”

Those who attend the show can see a booth with photos of all the tourist destinations in Venezuela and “impressed with all the wonders of our country.” Also shown is a model of car he drives the Venezuelan driver Pastor Maldonado in Formula 1.

China is the third largest source of tourists in the world, so Fleming considered necessary to strengthening relations with this nation of Asia.

“This is one of the key elements: strengthening a strategic relationship between two countries. Not only the political or commercial element, which Venezuela has strengthened a lot with China, but our people learn to know our culture, “he said.
