Paradiso in FITCuba 2016: Get to Know Cuba through its Culture
Paradiso, the cultural tourism agency managed by Cuban Artex S.A., is going to make a splash at the 36th edition of Cuba’s International Travel Show, slated to take place in Havana on May 3-7, as the event will be dedicated to cultural tourism.
The agency, with 22 years of experience in the sector, will be headquartered at Pavilion I and its booth will be shaped as an art gallery, showcasing paintings related to the products marketed by the agency. Each artwork will include a description of the product.
It’s important to highlight that the paintings, as well as the sculptures, will be created by outstanding Cuban artist Kcho, creator of the Romerillo artistic project, which is described as an art laboratory in Cuba.
In several alfresco areas of La Cabaña, Paradiso is scheduled to carry out artistic performances with the main projects it manages. Children from art schools are going to stand for different artistic expressions, and students from the National Circus School will perform passacaglia. The agency is also preparing fashion shows and boleros. On May 7, those who attend this edition are going to enjoy the colorful comparsa of “Carnavaleando” project.
As for the main products the agency is set to launch for tour operators interested in cultural tourism, we can mentionBaila en Cuba, World Meeting of Casino & Salsa Dancers and Academies, which over the past 10 years has gathered dancers from different countries throughout seven nights of excellent concerts, with the finest Cuban popular dance bands. This event is annually held in Havana.
The Art and Culture Academies are also included on the list. The project was conceived by Paradiso as a way to foster new exchanges among universities, academies and conservatoires. The first Academies are based in Havana –at Artex’s cultural center named El Sauce-, in Varadero and Santiago de Cuba. Courses on dance, theater, music, fine arts, among others, are given in these academies.
The program also includes cultural options “Bailar a lo cubano”, “A Ritmo de Cubanía”,“Paradiso Cultural”and “Cultura por Dentro”; designed to help visitors take a closer look at the most autochthonous elements of Cuban culture.
Furthermore, the agency will be advertising the main cultural eventsin Cuba, such as Havana Book Fair, Mayflower Festival, Cubadisco International Show, Fiesta del Fuego, Circuba, “Habanarte” Cuban Culture Festival and Jazz Plaza and New Latin American Cinema international festivals.
