The minister, who is on a Russia working visit to strengthen links with tour operators and airline managers, said conditions for increasing arrival of Russian tourists to Cuba have been created.
Interviewed by Prensa Latina, Trujillo highlighted there are Russian businesspeople interesting in investing in the Cuban sector, and some negotiations are in an advanced phase.
