 　　CARACAS, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Venezuela plans to develop three pristine1 Caribbean islands that are home to military facilities into tourist resorts, Tourism Minister Andres Izarra announced Monday.

　　The state-run Venezuelan News Agency (AVN) quoted Izarra as saying that Venezuela has vast untapped tourism potential and has identified the islands of La Blanquilla, La Tortuga and La Orchila for development.
　　Izarra said plans would include renovating2 island infrastructure3, constructing airstrip and development in nearby areas.
　　La Blanquilla derives4 its name from an untouched white-sand beach lapped by turquoise5 waters and surrounded by shallow coral reefs. The island is also known for a type of rare black coral that is commonly used to make jewelry6.
　　La Tortuga, the main part of an archipelago, is the second largest island in Venezuela after Margarita, the country's best known vacation destination. It is known for migratory7 birds and fishing between September and April.
　　La Orchila has numerous beaches including Arena8 Rosada, of which the sand is obviously pink.
　　The three islands are presently home to military facilities such as military encampment and naval9 and air bases.
　　Venezuela has some 314 large and small islands, most of them paradisiacal spots that are virtually unknown to travelers.
