Venezuela and the United Kingdom assessed easing certain flight restrictions to progressively include Canaima, Los Roques and Margarita in tourism cooperation plans, at a meeting in Caracas between Tourism Minister Daniella Cabello and the United Kingdom's Chargé d'Affaires in Venezuela, Colin Dick, reported on September 19, 2026. The minister stated the goal of opening new opportunities to position Venezuela as an international destination, "strengthening ties with tour operators" and "exploring connectivity alternatives that bring the British market closer to Venezuelan destinations once again". The meeting also addressed the institutional and commercial participation of operators at London's World Travel Market (WTM), with a work agenda that will include meetings with airlines, major tour operators and authorities. Ikiratours, Venezuela's 100% B2B DMC and inbound wholesaler, follows this agenda as an in-destination operator.
What it means for your agency
The British market is long-haul and high-spend, and pairs well with Venezuela's premium product (Los Roques and Canaima). There is no reactivated route to announce today: what exists is an official process under way, with named destinations and a trade fair —WTM— as the meeting point with airlines and major tour operators. For agencies with clients in the United Kingdom, this is a preparation moment: English-language material ready and rates at hand, to move as soon as connectivity materializes.
What to do
Follow the outcomes of the WTM agenda and have your Los Roques and Canaima proposal ready in English for British clients. Net rates for lodging and excursions are on the B2B portal, with confirmation within 24 to 48 business hours.
