"Venezuela's product shortages have become so severe that some hotels in that country are asking guests to bring their own toilet paper and soap...Venezuelan officials have been stopping people from transporting essential goods across the country in an effort to stem the flow of contraband...Product shortages are not the only challenge for tourists in Venezuela. The socialist-run country also has South America’s highest murder rate, and an archaic foreign exchange system that essentially forces tourists to carry big wads of U.S. dollars with them to avoid the expensive rates that are charged by banks if they pay for things with credit cards or take money from an ATM."
