For the first time ever, more than 129 US travel agents and tour-operators are attending a Cuban tourism fair, said Tourism minister Manuel Marrero during the inauguration of the 35th edition.
Marrero made it clear that although US-Cuba negotiations are underway towards the normalization of relations, the island will never let down those nations that offered Cuba a hand in difficult moments.
At present the local tourist sector counts on 5 thousand 492 hotel rooms in four and five-star facilities, including 26 joint ventures. At the same time Cuba maintains hotel management contracts with 18 international hotel chains in 69 hotels, with Spain´s Melia Hotels International being the main partner. The Spanish group manages 27 tourist facilities and will soon mark its 25th anniversary of operations in Cuba.
