Cuban Travel Companies Show their Achievements

Within the framework of FITCuba 2016, the Morro-Cabaña Fairgrounds witnessed the very best that companies like Cubanacán, Gran Caribe and Viajes Cuba have to offer.

Cubanacan President Yamily Aldama Valdes spelled out the main achievements for her hotel chain in 2015, underscoring all international trends in terms of decoration, restoration, preservation and environmental protection. In coming weeks, the company hopes to open new lodgings in a number of sought-after travel destinations.

In addition, the forecasts and outcomes of Gran Caribe, a hotel chain that stands out for its nonstop quest for excellence, were introduced by its president, Eduardo Acosta de Arriba. With 12,000 guestrooms, 42 hotels and several hotel compounds under its belt, the company is intended to cling to traditions, cultural values and roots mostly through garments, music and dance. Some of the main challenges on the road ahead are the need to achieve an environment-friendly tourism.

On the other hand, the fledgling Grupo Empresarial Viajes Cuba also had a chance to showcase its results and make its forecasts during a presentation made by its president José Manuel Bisbé. Made up of Cubatur, Havanatur, Viajes Cubanacán, Ecotur and Viajes Cuba, the company provides assistance to 50 percent of foreigners who visit Cuba. Its strengths lie in a 10-plus-language service and, in the near future, the search for new markets and the implementation of cutting-edge technology.
