Cuba will sign a contract for the creation of a joint

golf complex in the province of Pinar del Rio that
will be, upon completion, one of the largest in Latin
America and the Caribbean.
Yuslenia Saumell, business specialist at the tourism
ministry, said that before the end of the year they
will iron out the proposal with the Spanish compa-
