A Cuba tourism and cultural promotion event was held at the Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai on Nov 22 on the sideline of the China International Tourism Mart. The event, aimed at fostering mutual exchanges and exploring new opportunities between China and Cuba, was hosted by the Ministry of Tourism of Cuba and the Consulate General of the Republic of Cuba in Shanghai.

The night party attracted a diverse group of attendees, including Cuban officials, representatives from hotel chains and travel agencies, and two honored Cuban athletes, who were members of the Cuban delegation led by Jorge Alberto Garcia Domínguez, the first deputy minister of tourism of Cuba, to the mart.

Among them was Mijain Lopez, widely regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Lopez, a five-time Olympic gold medalist and five-time world champion, emphasized that promoting tourism is a powerful way to boost the economy and strengthen the bond between China and Cuba.
