The Ministries of Ecosocialism and Tourism and Inparques met this Friday with businessman Rafael Oliveros to start an administrative process for the party he threw in the Canaima National Park, in which Regulation 276 on the Administration and Management of National Parks and Natural Monuments was violated.
“We urge the population to have a relationship of protection and protection of the environment. From Mintur we support the development of sustainable tourism in our country”, wrote Minister Ali Padrón posted on Twitter.
Rafael Oliveros, president of Grupo La Marea, was sworn in by Nicolás Maduro as a member of the National Council of Economy as coordinator of the “Tourist Motor” in 2016. The businessman was the one who organized the celebration for his 50 years of age at the top of the Kusari tepui on February 4.
The celebration, which caused a scandal this week, was attended by, among others, Osmel Sousa, Titina Penzini and public relations specialist Aura Marina Hernández.
The SOS Orinoco Organization condemned the holding of the party in the place and assured that the impact of activities like that, which he described as irresponsible, is probably impossible to remedy on a human time scale.
