The Canadian company Blue Diamond extends its operation in Cuba with the
addition of the hotel Memories Holguín, so far operated under the name
Riu Playa Turquesa. The closure of the activities of the Riu chain on
the island gave way to the new Canadian government.

Blue Diamond operates seven more tourist facilities and about four
thousand rooms. Its new facility, located on the beach Yuraguanal, in
the eastern province, it's being now remodeled to adapt their services
to the standards required by Memories Blue Diamond brand.

According to Rafael Villanueva, commercial director of the Cuba division
of the Canadian company confirmed that trade under management contracts
with travel agencies and turperadores, especially regarding quality
standards will be honored.

Nearly four years after coming to the Island, Blue Dimond manages and
markets in this destination eight tourism facilities under Royalton and
Memories brands, luxury latter adults only.

The hotel management contracts are one of the forms of foreign
investment that prioritizes the Ministry of Tourism in its development
strategy, focused today on Cuban tourism product diversification and
expanding its hotel industry until 2030.
