[NewsWhore]

Acento.com.do reports on the hotels and flights that push up the cost of President Leonel Fernandez's travels abroad. In a report, the online newspaper lists details of the hotels where the President and his committee stayed and the private flights taken during the last trip that took him to Spain, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, Israel, France and the USA. Acento reports that there were 55 people in the presidential delegation, of whom 45 were special guests of the President and First Lady Margarita Cedeno de Fernandez. The hotels included the Villamagna and Arts Barcelona.

The Fernandez administration has been ranked second of 139 counries for wastefulness of government spending by the World Economic Forum in its 2010-2011 Global Competitiveness Report.
