    OTHER ASPECTS OF INTEREST

    Santiago de Cuba, located at some 900 kms from Havana, is Cuba's second
    largest city. Its economic, cultural and social importance in Cuban history
    is unquestionable. Santiago is also the capital of the province with the
    same name. Surrounded by the green mountains of the Sierra Maestra range
    and the Caribbean Sea, Santiago is unique in its geography and beautiful
    landscape. Its surroundings make the city one of the most important tourist
    attractions on the entire island. The Organizing Committee, in coordination
    with the city's tourist agencies will offer visiting delegates a host of
    options allowing participants to enjoy the city's beauty and charm.
