close 2007 with more than 2 million tourists |
Saturday, November 17, 2007
HOLGUIN, Cuba (ACN): For the fourth year in a row, Cuba is
expecting to receive more than 2 million tourists this year
2007, which confirms that the island is one of the most
important tourist destinations in the Caribbean.
Cuba's tourism deputy minister Maria Elena Lopez said that
most of Cuba's tourism markets are expected to grow by the
end of this period.
Lopez talked about the development of tourism in the island
at the second session of the 18th French Travel Agencies
Association (AFAT-VOYAGES) Congress underway in Hotel Playa
Pesquero, which has the highest number of rooms (944) in the
country. |

The minister noted that besides the well-known quality of
Cuba's beaches and its nature, foreign visitors have showed
increased interest in the history and culture of the island.
More than 500 tourism experts are attending the Congress
seeking to learn more about the island. The event could lead
to a boost in the number of French visitors to Cuba, said
Jean Pierre Mas president of Gala Agency.
As part of the activity program, participants in the event
enjoyed a beach show named El alma de Cuba (Cuba's Soul) in
Cayo Bariay, located in the eastern province of Holguin,
which has became the third tourist destination in the
country.
AFAT-VOYAGES was created in 1988. It includes more than 600
points of sale and is considered as the premier travel
agencies network in France.
