Chavez to open popular tourist scheme using fugitive banker’s yachts

By Patrick J. O’Donoghue | VHeadline | September 13, 2010

Last weekend, President Chavez announced that he would be setting up a tourist scheme from mainland Vargas State to the Orchila island using yachts belonging to a fugitive Banco Federal banker, Nelson Mezerhane.

The yachts, he suggested, will also be used to transport tourists from popular areas and barrios to the Los Roques archipelago.

The President said it was only right that people from popular areas have the chance to visit the islands and he has requested Executive Vice President Elias Jaua to speed up the purchase of a ferry that Venezuela was purchasing from Portugal.

Chavez admitted delays in acquiring the ferry.

People should be able to relax healthily, Chavez mused, stressing that it was difficult for poor people to fly by plane to Margarita island and for that reason he wanted to create a popular tourism company.
