Little Rock, June 2 (RHC) -- Fifty-three businesspeople from the U.S. state of Arkansas and officials hosted by the State Chamber of Commerce will begin a week-long visit to Cuba Tuesday, amid the warming relationship between the U.S. and Cuba.
Senior Vice President of the Chamber, Susie Marks, told reporters that this trip is not focused on forging official business or economic ties, however several members of the group are from key Arkansas industries.
Marks said this trip is primarily designed to learn about Cuba's culture and will include tours of a rum factory and cigar operations in Havana.
