Cuba's economy.. blog #7

Cuba's tourism has incredibly increased in the past two years. This was by the new laws and accommodations that Cuba made for tourism. The tourist in Cuba grew in the past two years by approximately 8%. Cuban Tourism Minister Marrero Cruz said that the biggest source market of tourists to the island remains Canada, with 900 thousand vacationers reported so far, followed by the UK and Spain, which held a significant increase in recent months. Marrero said that in the current year Cuba completed some two thousand new rooms in the major tourist centers of the country, although the fundamental weight was concentrated in the capital.
Over 60 percent of products marketed in the network of hotels and other accommodation, is of national origin, said the official, who noted that Cuba's tourism industry employs around 200 000 workers.
Development strategy, which began this year and runs through 2015, provides for new investments in Guardalavaca, Cayo Coco, Varadero, Trinidad and Havana.
For that period, Cuba will also work towards the creation of golf courses.
Also it will prioritize the training of new methods, which means turning each hotel, restaurant, or establishment into a tourism school, and its best managers and specialists in teachers who are responsible to train the generations that will continue developing the sector tourism.
I think this is great idea for Cuba because by making all these new accommodations, the country will be able to attract more people and also make the tourists feel more comfortable and happy about spending their vacation in Cuba. Cuba's economy has slowly increased a bit due to these new laws and changes. Tourism takes the biggest part in Cuba's economy, therefore it is very important for Cuba to take steps to improve what gives them the biggest percentage of their money. Tourism in Cuba will keep growing if Cuba keep taking steps towards improving the facilities and accommodations for tourists. This is very smart and productive for the Cuba economy. I hope you liked and enjoyed the blog, and learned something from it. I found this information on google.com and mostly on the newspaper (Rebelde from Cuba).
