Havana, May 3, 2025 – An academic cooperation agreement in the field of tourism was signed this Saturday in Havana by the tourism ministries of Cuba and Venezuela, within the framework of the 7th Meeting of Ministers and High-Level Authorities on Tourism of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP).

From the International Tourism Fair of Cuba (FITCuba), the largest of the Antilles and Honduras—an invited country of the Bolivarian Alliance—also signed a memorandum of understanding in the academic field of tourism.

The objective of these alliances is to strengthen the tourism sector in the region with a view to generating economic development for the peoples, as well as employment opportunities and community growth.

This Saturday, ministers and high-level authorities of the sector gathered at FITCuba 2025 to continue defining the tourism work agenda, aimed at creating a multi-destination product, along with various forms of air and maritime connectivity.

The authorities agreed that tourism is an economic activity that supports the unity of ALBA-TCP countries, amid the sanctions and blockades imposed by the United States in an attempt to hinder the development of Our America.
