Tourism

WHAT WE DO
Our work on tourism
Venezuela Decides follows the tourism concessions and investment agreements the current administration is negotiating, from islands such as Margarita to the country's protected coasts. We document who is party to each deal, on what terms and under what legal authority, and the damage to fragile ecosystems. Decisions over these places belong to a government chosen in free elections, and any agreement made before then must be open to scrutiny and review.
