The fair, which is not opened to the public, has been increasingly attended over the past years by travel agents, hotel chains, airline companies, tour operators, as well as by local and international tourism offices and tourism providers.

Cuba will be represented by deputy tourism minister Maria Elena Lopez who is heading a delegation from the main companies in the Cuban tourist sector.
