Cuba Ventures' Steve Marshall Invited to Be on Keynote Panel at Upcoming Cuban Investment Forum

V.REVO

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 9, 2016 / Cuba Ventures Corp. (TSX-V: CUV) (OTC: MPSFF) (Frankfurt: IJA2) (the "Company") (formerly MPH Ventures Corp.) is pleased to announce that Steve Marshall, the Company's CEO, has been invited to be a part of a keynote panel discussion next week at the Cuba Investment Forum at the Westin Beach Resort in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Cuba Ventures, through its subsidiary Travelucion Media, is an online travel and digital media marketing company that specializes in travel marketing, electronic reservations and online booking solutions for international visitors to Cuba.

Steve Marshall is set to be on a keynote panel consisting of Cuba experts on May 12th at the Cuba Investment Forum in Ft. Lauderdale. Cuba Ventures will be one of the few publicly traded companies at the conference with a business focused directly on Cuba. The Forum's objective is three fold: inform participants on the most relevant and up to date facts on current business affairs in Cuba, provide guidance to investors on the political and legal process that will govern how US companies will integrate into Cuban commerce, and share best practices and lessons learned from foreign investors and exporters on their ventures in Cuba. Cuba Ventures will be joined by other notable companies at the conference including Southwest Airlines and Bloomberg.

Travelucion Media's revenues have continued to grow quickly in the wake of the notable shift in American policy towards Cuba. Travelucion has developed and owns one of the most significant portfolios of Cuban focused websites with 432 websites collectively generating over 30 million page-views per year, directing traffic to the main Travelucion Media booking and e-commerce sites. Since 1995 these proprietary websites have been promoting Cuba and offering online travel services to the Caribbean nation. The websites cover all facets of the island including specific tourist destinations, hotels and resorts, golf, spas, restaurants, classic car rentals, Cuban culture, health, commerce, food and much more.

In other news related to Cuba, on May 1st Carnival Cruise's Fathom Adonia, as a cultural exchange voyage, left the port of Miami carrying 700 passengers going to Cuba which represents the first American cruise ship to arrive in Cuba in over 50 years. The Adonia's arrival in Havana symbolizes the ongoing shift in U.S.-Cuban relations that was initiated on December 17th, 2014 when U.S. President Barack Obama announced normalization of diplomatic relations with the Caribbean nation. Travel restrictions on Americans looking to travel to Cuba have continued to diminish with significant growth seen in the number of Americans traveling to Cuba in the last year. Cuba Ventures is exploring opportunities in the cruise line industry with plans to focus on the burgeoning, potentially multi-billion dollar American travel market to Cuba.
