More than 200 travel agents were offered the opportunity to discover the charms of the destination of Cuba during the Sixth Copa Vacations Argentina Convention, held from 16 to 24 September. Meliá Cuba and the Cuba-based inbound tour operator Gaviota Tours hosted the event, attended by a select group of tour operators who market holiday packages at destinations served by Copa Airlines. Among those represented were: Logan Travel, Delfos, Solways Argentina, Tower Travel, TopDest and Siga. The Hotel Meliá Las Dunas, on Cayo Santa María, in the north-central part of Cuba, was the main stage for the event. This magnificent 5 Star All-Inclusive hotel, renowned for the quality of its services, the wide selection of rooms available and its extensive range of entertainment activities, showcased its facilities for the events that took place.

Maní, maní, maní…, si te quieres por el pico divertir cómprame un cucuruchito de maní. Cuando la calle sola está, casera de mi corazón, el manisero entona su pregón … this song about a peanut vendor can still be heard today in the streets, to the rhythm of son, rumba or meringue. Havana, a bustling, sensual, uninhibited and melodic city, bewitches anyone who comes here. The capital of Cuba, a symbol of charisma, hospitality, music, heat, dance, classic cars, rum and beautiful women, has assets to set the beat: the Paseo del Malecón, the Morro, the Capitolio, the Habana Libre, and, of course, its most prodigal son: the famous Habano cigar, named after the city itself.

Meliá Cuba certainly knows how to party, and this was clear on the occasion of one of the most prestigious events in the country’s tourism industry. Attended by Gabriel Cánaves, General Manager of the Cuba Division of Meliá Hotels International, and by major tour operators, travel agents, airlines and members of the national and international press, the Christmas 2013 gala dinner was celebrated in true style.
