The last Prime Minister before the abolition of the office was Fidel Castro.[1] Marrero is the first person to hold the position of Prime Minister of Cuba in 43 years.[2] A member of the Communist Party of Cuba, he served as the country's long-time Minister of Tourism from 2004 until his appointment to the office of Prime Minister in December 2019.[3] During his tenure as tourism minister, Cuban tourism witnessed massive resilience.
