Wine-flavoured Cuban Tourism
By: Robert F. Campos
Cuban cuisine experts have alerted that to develop first-class tourism on the tropical island it is necessary to opt for the presence in local markets of better and more important wine brands, which in their opinion would give a big boost to this industry which is in a sharp upward spiral.
Fernando Fernández, senior lecturer in the national system for training specialized tourism personnel (Formatur), shares this point of view. Nowadays, contemporary world cuisine is unthinkable without wine; an irreplaceable beverage inserted in the best way possible with any food style.
Fernández is also the national coordinator for training sommeliers and advisor for Havana Club International and Habanos S.A firms.
