“Cuba has a comprehensive National System of Protected Areas (SNAP) that control tourism developments in important national and local areas and so-called Special Regions for Sustainable Development, that include 77 National Protected Areas and 134 Local Areas as the result of a program that will continue until 2020.
“The Ministry of Tourism regulates technical-professional categories on the basis of a structure for Natural Reserves (for scientific work), National Parks, Ecological Reserves, Outstanding Natural Elements and Flora Reserves.
“The list also includes two fauna shelters: Natural Protected Landscapes and Resources Protected Areas. There are 120 well-managed protected areas nationwide — 58.87% already identified and 86.73% with administration potential — a good part of which are open.”
Holguín province, in Cuba’s east, will host the 11th International Eco Tourism Seminar, September 26 – 30, 2017.
