Cuba’s government says it is open to offering hotel management roles to Cuban nationals, including people living in Cuba and those abroad. The move is framed as part of a restructuring of the island’s hotel sector following the departure of major hotel chains. According to reporting from multiple outlets, Cuban officials indicate that management could be transferred to Cubans who have the experience or capability to run the properties, rather than relying solely on outside companies.
The announcements focus on the government’s willingness to consider Cuban-led management arrangements and do not describe specific timelines, eligibility criteria, or which hotels would be affected first. The reports also do not detail how revenue sharing, labor arrangements, or contracts would be handled under the new approach.
Overall, the coverage presents the initiative as a government-led shift in hotel operations, triggered by the exit of established chains, while emphasizing that Cuban nationals—both domestically and internationally—are being considered for management responsibilities.
