Restructure Cuban tourism
In statements prior to the press, García Granda mentioned a set of measures aimed at the “restructuring of Cuban tourism” announced in the framework of Fitcuba 2025. “We grant much more management powers to businesses, by placing them in a higher competitive position thanks to the control of their income,” he explained.
“We have integrated, in the management models, the rental of hotel facilities, which will have a very positive influence”, he continued before specifying that, in certain areas, we had “removed hierarchical structures which limited management at the local level”.
“As we know, foreign investment, joint ventures and hotels under management have total autonomy, to recall the minister. We are talking here about part of the extrahôtelier network, which we want to see its role playing as in previous years. »»
As by the past years, Fitcuba 2025 was a framework conducive to the creation of alliances, the promotion of exchanges, the exploration of opportunities and the sharing of new products from the sector between travel agencies, tour operators, companies and suppliers interested in the Cuba destination.
