Tourist Resort of Cayo Largo Ready for High Season

Havana, Dec 26 (acn) A group of tour-operators and representatives of 
Cuban tourist groups, were able to see for themselves, in situ, that 
the main tourist resort of the Isle of Youth Special Municipality, Cayo 
Largo, is ready for a successful high season.

The beginning of this year's high season was officially marked on 
Tuesday with the arrival at the 'Vilo Acuña' International Airport of 
the first group of tourists from the Italian club Ventaglio aboard an 
aircraft of Livingston Airlines.

This 2007-2008 season will also see the arrival in Cayo Largo of 
tourists from the Italian tour-operator Eden Viaggi, which - like 
Ventaglio - travels for the first time to this destination.

The beginning of the high season in Cayo Largo included a concert by 
the popular band Warapo, a promotion by the Havana Club rum brand, a 
competition of barmen, a nautical festival and a fireworks festival.

The president of the Cuban hotel group Gran Caribe, Luis Miguel Diaz 
Sanchez, noted that the arrival of the Italian tour-operator Ventaglio 
will certainly mean an improvement for the Isle of Youth's tourist 
industry.

Cayo Largo has an extension of 37 square kilometers and it is 177 
kilometers south of Havana and Varadero.

Cuba's main tourist markets are Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, 
France, Spain, Germany, Argentina and Mexico.
