The Provincial Committee of the Cuban Trade Workers Union (CTC) in Matanzas congratulates the employees of the leisure industry in this territory on Cuban Tourism Day, “an opportune date to revere the men and women of an example sector in the Cuban fight against covid-19 ”.
Osmar Ramírez Ramírez, secretary general of the CTC, assured that “never as in these times has the altruism of those who accepted a job change and occupied relevant positions in support of hospital institutions and in isolation centers, where they were not afraid to expose their lives.”
The top leader of the Matanzas trade union movement referred to the complex financial situation faced by the nation and how the employees of the sector assume the production of food in their facilities, a way, he said, to refresh the items of expenses and contribute to the economic strategy .
Ramírez Ramírez called on executives in the sector to face with greater efficiency and quality the tourist increase season that has just begun and to take care of themselves to avoid contagion and outbreaks of Sars-Cov-2.
The celebration of Cuban Tourism Day was established in homage to the creation of the National Institute of the Tourism Industry (INIT), which occurred on November 20th , 1959.
The INIT thus became the first institution founded by the Revolution to promote “revolutionary tourism, based on the best values of the human being, on the traditions of the Nation and its people, as well as on the extraordinary natural resources existing in the country ”, appears in the Gaceta de Cuba.
Despite serving as Prime Minister at that time, Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro was at the head of the organization, a structure that tacitly endorsed the will of the Revolution to grant, from the very triumph of 1959, priority to the tourist progress of the country.
The foundation of INIT was succeeded on November 30th , 1976 by the National Institute of Tourism (INTUR), to later give way, on April 21st , 1994, to the Ministry of Tourism.
