Another media outlet, the Invasor (local) newspaper, points out that the work aims to give a very particular touch to said space.
The general director of Business Projects of the Cuban Telecommunications Company (Etecsa), Frank Pavón, announced that for the first time the Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular network is arriving at the tourist center.

The lodging and professional activities center of FITCuba 2024, the Grand Marena Hotel of the Gran Caribe Chain, in Cayo Coco, inaugurated in December 2015, underwent capital maintenance, in view of the event.
Furthermore, the establishment also benefits from the rehabilitation of the surrounding coastal dunes, the extraction of invasive exotic plants and the reestablishment of native vegetation.
The event, of high relevance for the country, will be attended by more than 500 hoteliers, tour operators, travel agents, and airline representatives.
Dedicated to Latin America and the Caribbean, it will be an opportunity to present new hotel, non-hotel and nautical products, while drawing up strategies and market lines, along with promoting tourism potential, the message concluded. (PL) (Photo: Invasor)
