For decades tourism industry is going strong.

Developing countries are becoming popular


destinations, and in turn, tourism is generating work for locals to serve inclusive development.
Nevertheless, limitless niche markets remain uncharted for a large number of travel agencies,
as in the case of Historiographic Tourism.

Venezuela lies in the northern coast of South America. The oil-rich nation features a
continental land area, several small islets, and islands in the Caribbean Sea. Venezuela is also
widely renowned for its picturesque sceneries, making it the perfect destination for a
memorable holiday. Although, the country has a rich military history that had involved United
Kingdom nationals. To put in context, a group of Venezuelan Creoles Boldly proclaimed their
country an Independent Republic in 1797. Although their effort failed, it forewarned of the
movements that were soon to inflame Latin América.

In 1808, a large military force to attack Venezuela was assembled and placed under the
command of Arthur Wellesley, but Napoleon’s invasion of Spain suddenly transformed Spain
into an ally of the British, and the force instead went there to fight in the Peninsula War. In
1817, The British volunteers were mainly recruited in London by Bolivar’s agent, Luis Lopez
with the probable approval of the duke of Wellington. The British Legions joined Bolivar’s army
Towards the end of 1818 but saw no serious action until March 19, 1819. The expedition
embarked 5,508 soldiers-at-arms under the command of Gen. Gregor Mc Gregor, Col. James
Towers, Col. James Rooke, and others.

Evidently, it can be observed an opportunity to exploit an unexplored market that can hold
festivals, historical reenactment, convetions that, furthermore, could be extended more
broadly to other countries. Bearing in mind that in the past Venezuela came to be a window to
spate Latin America with Revolutionary War. As a result, today it could be the entrance door to
a new different type of tourism.
