Cuba aspires to continue to develop the tourism industry, despite the obstacles imposed by the US economic, financial and commercial blockade of the Caribbean island.
About 54 camping sites, 32 nautical centers and marinas as a result of restoration and enlargement projects, naval workshops, and an International Diving Center, are also on the list of priorities.
Plans also include 13 real estate development projects associated with golf courses (with 15,000 real estate units), 42 recreation and adventure projects; and more than 100 logistic projects, mainly improvements in capabilities and technological equipment.
Tourism Minister Manuel Marrero said that the construction of 2,081 hotel rooms were completed this year, totaling 72,965 rooms in late June.
President Diaz-Canel stressed that tourism, in addition to being an important contributor to the economy, is also a bridge. With each tourist who visits us, the clauses of the imperial blockade are broken, he added.(PL)
