    Estrategia de posicionamiento del destino Villa Clara en el mercado chino Introducción El turismo es una de las industrias que experimenta un mayor crecimiento 56 mundial, lo cual tiene un efecto relevante en diversos campos: la economía, la sociedad, la cultura y el medio ambiente. Su repercusión en la economía es muy importante, ya que aporta 10.6 % del producto interno bruto mundial y da em­ pleo a 230 millones de personas (10 % de la población laboral) (OMT, 1996). Este crecimiento y la continua tarea de satisfacer a los clientes han dado como resultado que la industria de la hospitalidad se vuelva cada vez más com­ petitiva, lo que significa que, para tener éxito en el mercado actual, las empre­ sas prestadoras de servicios turísticos deben centrarse en el cliente, buscando la forma de atraerlo y conservarlo. Entre los principales países que han marcado esta acelerada tendencia se encuentra China, que en poco tiempo ha penetrado en gran escala el turismo global. Los numerosos turistas chinos que pasan sus vacaciones más allá de sus fronteras han despertado un entusiasmo turístico sin precedentes. Si los pronósticos actuales llegan a confirmarse, se registrarán proporciones nunca antes vistas en el plano mundial respecto a este importante mercado emisor. Por ello, el creciente desarrollo de este mercado representa para el des­ tino turístico de Villa Clara la oportunidad de absorber parte del mercado emisor chino, teniendo en cuenta sus particularidades, pero también los recur­ sos de los cuales dispone, siendo los fundamentales sus magníficos cayos con paradisiacas playas y su patrimonio histórico­cultural que complementa todos los atractivos naturales del territorio.

    From Ascetic to Aesthetic: the Catharsis of Ernesto “Che” Guevara By: William David Almeida Cuban Revolution • 26th of July Movement • Commander of the Fourth Column • Battle of Santa Clara Having originally served as the 26th of July Movement’s medical doctor, “Che” quickly rose to the ranks of commandante after demonstrating implacable fearlessness and resolve on the battlefield. Eventually, he would lead the decisive battle in Santa Clara which terminated the Batista regime. Ascetic Progression • Argentina • Cuba • Bolivia Why is it that such a privileged individual abandoned comfort time and time again to place himself into incredibly austere circumstances, and how is it that he became aestheticized (both photographically and intellectually) as a result? The Guevara Family Guatemalan Coup (1954) Tipping Point: This event concretized “Che’s” belief that armed revolution would be the only realistic catalyst to socioeconomic reform throughout Latin America. Excerpts from Che’s Message to the Tricontinetal Congress (1965) • “Latin America constitutes a more or less homogenous whole, and in almost its entire territory U.S. capital holds absolute primacy.” • “Our every action is a battle cry against imperialism and a call for unity against the great enemy of the human race: the United States of North America.” How ironic is it that the image of an individual who plotted terrorist attacks in sites such as Grand Central Station (NYC) has garnered and maintained such an intransigent following in contemporary, post-911 ‘America?’ Dichotomist
