Searching for my Business Startup Tips Blog? This will be the final post for basic country facts and tips before traveling. Today we're covering: Venezuela and Uruguay Uruguay Uruguay is a medium income nation with a developing economy. The quality of tourist facilities varies according to price and area. Venezuela Venezuela is a middle income country with a well developed transportation infrastructure. Scheduled air service and good all-weather roads, some poorly marked and congested around urban centers, connect major cities and all regions of the country. Its tourism infrastructure varies in quality according to location and price. If you do not have a Venezuelan identity card, you will need to carry your U.S. passport with you at all times. Certain areas along the border with Colombia have travel restrictions. If you visit those areas, you may be subject to search and seizure. Foreign exchange transactions must take place through commercial banks and exchange houses at the official rate. Credit cards are accepted at most tourist establishments. Outside of major cities, Venezuelan currency is required for most transactions. Visitors departing Venezuela can exchange local currency up to $5,000. Enjoy all of your travels.
