NRC Cuba Trip | 4 Days Tour Evan Elkowitz New York, US As the daughter of a New York City garment center executive, I was raised around fashion all of my life. After becoming a mother I realized that I needed to pursue a career that combined style and travel.... the two things I loved most. I started my personal styling business called Stylebyevan and began dressing clients, working with magazines, writing multiple fashion columns and figuring out the world of style. After styling many fashion photo shoots and interviewing a number of the most up-and-coming designers I began to look elsewhere for my inspiration. I decided to take a trip to Cuba and before I went I was asked to style a photoshoot during my time in Havana. Saying yes was the best decision I have ever made. I basically curated a photoshoot sight unseen and had the most rewarding, eye opening and unique experience that changed my life forever. Since that day I have been back to visit Cuba multiple times and I am now leading the first fashion tour to Havana. I write a fashion column for a Cuban design magazine called Amano and I have become very involved with the design community there. There is so much for each of us to learn from the designers in Cuba and I am very excited to share my love for this country with my guests. To be passionate about something is the only way to be successful and it’s my passion for travel combined with my interest in the fashion world that drives me to succeed. www.stylebyevan.com Instagram @stylebyevan NRC Cuba Trip | 4 Days Tour Host & Guides Thomas Penichter Founder & CEO [email protected] US Mobile: +1 6463373191 Cuba Mobile: +53 55816529 New York, NY In 2017 Tom founded Blue Ocean Technology, and built a software development center in Havana, Cuba dedicated to making software development simple, transparent and frictionless.

It is a big opportunity to visit a country, largely off limits to Americans for nearly 60 years, and experience an insider’s view of their amazing talent and lives. This is an exclusive tour, with beautiful private houses and business as well as an amazing architecture that has survived the pass of the years, finest dining, a private fashion show, pop-up markets, top-of-the-line after parties and a private, exclusive and friendly interaction with famous Cuban Artists. The itinerary has been careful design according to the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) new laws and regulations for American travelers under the People to People visa compliant with both Cuban and US laws, and operating under the in letter and spirit of the law. You are finally allowed to legally travel to this beautiful Caribbean country through a license issued by the Department of Treasure Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) which authorizes to legally travel to Cuba under a People-to-People visa, participating and engaging in a full time schedule of authorized educational exchange activities in Cuba. We will provide written itenerary that is OFAC compliant. Such records of activities shall be kept and retained by each guest to be made available for examination upon demand (by OFAC) for at least 5 years NRC Cuba Trip | Details What is included in your tour - All breakfasts, lunches and dinners as per itinerary - Welcome and Farewell dinners - 3 nights hotel - Scheduled local transportation throughout the adventure - An expert Cuban English-speaking guides and translators - All activities, services, speakers and meetings as described in tour itinerary except those noted as “optional” - Documents to receive a U.S. People-to-People Visa via your airline (US Citizens only) - Cuban Insurance (U.S. Citizens health and evacuation provided by all commercial airlines) - Cuban Airport Departure Tax - Airport transfers In Havana - Ongoing support in United States and Cuba before, during and after your stay.

While we will do our best to adhere to the itinerary, changes to accommodations, activities and guides may occur due to government controlled travel services. US Citizens - please follow your guides instructions so we follow all OFAC rules. NRC Cuba Trip | Details Weather April - Temps 86/66 F 30/19 C Sunrise 7:19 | Sunset 7:46 (19:46) Accommodations It’s important to put Cuban accommodations in perspective. Since Cuba has only a handful of 5-star hotels in Havana, we stay in either 5-star or the finest 4-star hotels or Cuba casa’s (Bed & Breakfasts). Each private room comes with an in-suite bathroom. Safety Cuba is one of the safest countries in Latin America. Part of the beauty of visiting the country is being able to walk freely without worrying about violent crime. However, petty theft does occur and precaution should be taken – especially in Havana and at night. Try to avoid dark streets and never leave purses, bags and other valuables unattended. Many Cubans, especially in Old Havana, will approach you to try and sell you black market cigars, ask you to buy milk for their children or try to bring you to a Paladar (restaurant), for which they will earn a percentage of any money you spend there. Most of them are harmless, but keep in mind they’re often trying to make a few dollars off interacting with you and will have all kinds of creative tales and “special offers” for doing so. The streets of Havana and sidewalks are very poorly lit and, in many cases, crumbling and littered with pot holes. Take extra precaution at night keeping a close eye on the ground below to avoid tripping in the frequent ditches and uncovered drains. Regarding the safety of your valuables, all hotels have room safes and we suggest you use them as you should whenever traveling. Satatoga Hotel Rooftop lounge NRC Cuba Trip | Details Currency U.S. credit cards and ATM cards will not work in Cuba. Plan on bringing enough cash for your stay in Cuba. There are two Cuban currencies (CUC and CUP) and the exchange rate is complicated, but all you really need to worry about is the CUC. You can get the other Cuban pesos (CUP, commonly referred to as moneda nacional) as a collector’s item but most things you will want to spend money on require CUC. The official exchange rate for dollars is 1.00 Cuban Convertible Peso = $1.00 USD, but it is often $0.97 USD. There is a special 10 percent tax added to U.S. currency conversions that Euros, CAD and other currencies are not subject to. This makes the effective U.S. exchange rate 14%+/-. We recommend only bringing cash an no travelers checks. If you can bring newer bills of $100 that is preferable, as sometimes it can be harder to change small bills and they often won’t take torn or really worn bank notes. Finally, in Cuba the exchange rate is set by the government so it doesn’t matter where you exchange your money. It’s the same rate at the airport, hotel or bank. Most of the expenses incurred in Cuba are covered in your tour including all transportation, lodging, our guide and driver. However, you will want to bring cash for the following things: - Nighttime Entertainment (about 15-35 CUC or less for any night on the town). - Purchasing art and souvenirs. - Internet (1 CUC per hour) and phone calls (3 CUC min) - Tips for our local guide, driver and photography leader. You should budget $50 - $200 USD per day per person for souvenirs, artwork, internet, etc. It’s always a good idea to include an emergency fund. Since you cannot access U.S. currency in Cuba, please bring extra cash so you do not run the risk of running out of money.

  • From Agriculture to Ecotourism: Socio-Economic Change, Community Development and Environmental Sustainability in a Costa Rican Village
    From Agriculture to Ecotourism: Socio-Economic Change, Community Development and Environmental Sustainability in a Costa Rican Village By Josephine Howitt Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Master of Arts in Globalization and International Development School of International Development and Global Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Josephine Howitt, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 Abstract: This research is an ethnographic case study of the emerging ecotourism economies in the agricultural village of San Gerardo de Rivas, Pérez Zeledón, Costa Rica. Due to the village’s location as the main entry point to climb the country’s tallest mountain within Chirripó National Park, the majority of households in San Gerardo now derive some income from tourism. I conducted twenty household surveys, followed by twenty-one semi-structured interviews with male and female heads of households and representatives of local organizations and tourism businesses. Drawing on local perspectives, I found that ecotourism was a complementary income source to agriculture and that men and women were engaging differently in ecotourism employment. Local organizations were involved in the participatory management of ecotourism activities within Chirripó National Park. Ecotourism has affected environmental practices and local people are strategically negotiating the direction of tourism development, including through using environmental discourses, to optimize the benefits to their community. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the individuals from San Gerardo de Rivas who participated in my research and shared their time and experiences with me. I am so grateful to the community members who welcomed me to their village and invited me to community events, to visit their farms or to enjoy a coffee and pan casero (homemade bread) while waiting for the rain to ease.

However, there is insufficient research regarding how to verify the synergy between culture and tourism and how to ensure its sustainability in the integration of the cultural and tourism industries (CTI). This study establishes an interdisciplinary composite analytical framework from the perspective of efficiency evaluation. China, a country that has advocated the integration of CTI since 2009, is the research setting. The findings indicate that the technical efficiency of the tourism industry has increased significantly since the involvement of the cultural industry. Meanwhile, economically underdeveloped regions have opportunities to catch up with developed regions in terms of technical efficiency, and they perform better in terms of sustainable productivity growth. Importantly, U-shaped and inverted U-shaped curves were found in the coordinate systems composed of groups comprising the coupling coordination degree and the efficiency-related index, respectively.
