Our stand shows a progress of the island’s main wealth, its diverse nature, legendary history, rich cultural heritage and, above all, the warmth of its people, the diplomat said, accompanied by Philippe Lhomme, president of FISA, the organizing entity of the Salon des Vacances Fair.

Goicochea highlighted the presence of a delegation led by Michel Bernal, Commercial Director of Cuba’s Ministry of Tourism, with travel agents, hotel chain representatives and other professionals of the sector.
