According to a document from that entity, one of those meetings addressed tourism and development tackling the current situation and perspective of that industry, and was carried out with the collaboration of the School of Tourism of the University of Havana and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (CITMA).
Sugar and its contribution to the economic and social development of the country was an activity very alike to the former, in which they discussed issues such as the historical and cultural relevance of agribusiness, the role of innovation, the importance of derivatives and the link with energy and environmental issues.
Another workshop focused on cooperative and solidarity work in urban non-agricultural cooperatives, challenges and perspectives, an aspect that SEAP paid attention to in recent years.
