(By the Infonegocios.Miami Team - Molina, in collaboration with Taylor, Maurizio, and Maqueda) More than seven and a half million people have fled their homes in Venezuela since 2015, plunging into a socio-economic and security crisis.

This is a common mistake and a misconception fueled by a lack of education and understanding of this marketing strategy.
