The Cuban Tourism Office in Toronto held an information day, with several media to publicize new projects, to substantially boost tourism exchange between Cuba and Canada.

This exchange is materialized through business models of shared administration, investment, and leasing that the Gaviota Tourism Group is carrying out with private investors.

The meeting was attended by the director of the Cuban tourism agency, Lessner Gómez, the president and vice-president of the Gaviota Tourism Group, Carlos M. Latuff Carmenate, and Frank Oltuski, respectively, as well as representatives of the related tour operators.

Gómez expressed that this initiative aims to publicize all the communication, promotion, and commercialization actions of the tourist exchange between the two countries.

He stressed that Cuba needs to increase the number of arrivals and the Canadian market is so attracted by this recreational offer, that during the first days of July, close to 600,000 Canadian clients visited the island.
