Cuba a Smash at Russia
Tourism Fair
Cuba is exhibiting the
largest tourism product
ever on the Russian
market at International
Tourism Fair that opened
here Tuesday.
The show at Moscow's
exhibition center Crocus
Expo is being attended
by a wide Cuban
delegation led by the
commercial director of
the tourism ministry (MINTUR),
Luis F.. Aguilera, with
representatives from the
firms Cubatur, Cubanacan,
Gaviota, Havanatur,
Habaguanex, Gran Caribe,
Sol y son, and Isla Azul.
This is a very important
occasion for Cuba, as
the winter market is
negotiated here, and
many Russian tourists
travel to tropical zones
this time of the year,
Carlos Oscar Hernandez,
director of the MINTUR
office in Russia, said.
"In 2006, Cuba welcomed
about 27,800 Russian
visitors, and we hope
the figure surpasses
30,000 this year," he
stated. |
