A Meliá Hotels International, grupo hoteleiro espanhol, anunciou a cessação imediata dos serviços de gestão e comercialização, bem como da concessão de licenças das suas marcas hoteleiras, em 15 hotéis em Cuba. A decisão, que foi inicialmente comunicada às respetivas entidades proprietárias dos hotéis a 26 de maio e agora confirmada oficialmente, surge na sequência do processo de avaliação de riscos em curso da empresa e reflete o que esta descreveu como a necessidade de garantir um quadro operacional ordenado e sustentável.

The United States has announced fresh economic sanctions on Cuba’s president and some of his immediate family, alongside members of the Castro family, in Washington’s latest ramping up of pressure on its communist-led neighbour.

New sanctions were imposed on Cuba’s President Miguel Díaz-Canel, along with four other individuals, according to a filing Thursday on the U.S. Treasury Department website.
