The Deputy Ministers of National Tourism, Nadia Mignogna, and of Tourism Projects and Works, Claudia Domínguez, toured the municipalities of Santa Rita and Almirante Padilla, in the state of Zulia, as part of an agenda aimed at promoting community tourism projects and strengthening the supply of destinations in the region.

During the day, the authorities visited different areas with potential for tourism development, including the island of Providencia, where they evaluated a proposal for historical and heritage tourism promoted by community organizations. In addition, they held meetings with residents of the community and representatives of the Añú people.

The tour also included a visit to the Castilletes sector, in the Almirante Padilla municipality, where they inspected tourist attractions such as the Punta Perret Lighthouse and the Jantuy inn, in order to learn about their operating conditions and the needs posed by service providers.

Later, the delegation traveled to the municipality of Santa Rita to meet with spokespersons of the Multicultural Socialist Commune “All Together We Are Chávez”, with whom they reviewed proposals related to the development of the Tourist Boulevard on the Palmarejo pier, a project that will be presented at the next popular consultation.

The activity is part of the actions promoted by the Ministry of Popular Power for Tourism to promote community initiatives, strengthen tourism infrastructure and promote destinations with historical, cultural and heritage value in the state of Zulia.
