THE Venezuelan Ambassador to Egypt, Wilmer Barrientos Fernandez, has emphasised the importance of developing bilateral cooperation with Egypt, a country that aims to increase tourist traffic to 30 million tourists by 2028.
Venezolana de Television, a partner of TV BRICS, reported Fernandez as stressing this at a working session with journalists organised by the Venezuelan embassy in Cairo, the Egyptian capital, as part of a strategy aimed at promoting tourism in the South American country.
Venezolana de Television, which cited the press office of the Venezuelan Embassy in Egypt, further reported Fernandez as underscoring the importance of having a communications wing as one of the strategies to be deployed in positioning Venezuela in the global tourism market.
He highlighted Venezuela’s biological and cultural diversity, as well as the Ministry’s Strategic Plan for Tourism 2025-2031, which focuses on the country’s identity and cultural sovereignty.
The ambassador presented Venezuela as a country with great tourism potential, relying on innovation and preserving its identity.
The report indicated that the embassy is organising familiarisation and press tours to bring representatives of the Egyptian tourism sector to Venezuela, including travel agencies, bloggers, influencers, and airlines as part of efforts to strengthen bilateral cooperation with Egypt.
