"SAHIC Cuba is of great interest to the international hotel and tourism industry and we have no doubt that it will be a great success," shares Garcia Rosa. "The country offers a range of opportunities; Cuba is an ideal location to develop tourism and is certain to be one of the main destinations in Latin America in the near future."

"SAHIC Cuba is an important venue for MINTUR (ministry of tourism)," explains Diaz Sanchez. "The conference is also scheduled to take place immediately after FITCuba (Cuba's international tourism fair) to be held this year in Holguin.
