Havana, May 2 (ACN) Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero attended a forum in Havana about the management of cultural patrimony and tourism aimed at exchanging views about the sustainable development of that tourist modality.

Cuban deputy culture minister Kenelma Carvajal said that patrimonial tourism contributes to the development of local economies, and communities in particular.
