Press Reception at the Bolivian Consulate
An intimate crowd had a priviliged look inside the Bolivian Consulate in New York last month, there to mingle with artists, poets and diplomats from Bolivia. Press from around the world, press from New York, and lots of playwrights and photographers drank coca liquor and chatted up the consul, Marco Medrano, his staff, and his fellow diplomats from the Bolivian Permanent Mission to the UN.
An unusual white powder was displayed - stevia - the sweetener that can be used for diabetics - which is one of many plants Bolivia has to offer the world.
Much of the presentation focused on Bolivia's new tourism initiative, which will tie in to promoting Bolivian products. Presently, Bolivia has very few tourists but could attract millions every year through eco-tourism, sporting tourism, educational services, business conventions and just plain feel good-and-do-nothing type tourism. With the low crime rate, and so many birds and orchids to look at, this is the new hot spot!
