Havana, November 6 (RHC) The Regional Startup Workshop on Sustainable Tourism will be held on November 9 and 10 at the Hotel Brisas del Caribe belonging to the Cuban spa city of Varadero.

The project has been developed in Cuba with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Fund for the Global Environment (GEF), and aims at contributing to the sustainability of tourism in Cuba through the integration of the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and the mitigation of climate change, with emphasis on vulnerable coastal-marine areas.
