CARACAS, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- Venezuela will offer hot air balloon flights from December to boost tourism, said Transportation Minister Ramon Velasquez Araguayan on Sunday.
"In December, we will activate hot air balloon flights in Venezuela's tourist destinations," he said on Twitter, where he also posted a video about the flight trials.
In order to guarantee safety flights, the National Institute of Civil Aeronautics was shaping all the regulations that would supervise the balloon-navigation.
The minister made the announcement after the second successful flight test. The Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Tourism will offer the service from December in Canaima National Park, located in south-eastern Venezuela.
