As a result, from the second half of the twentieth century, businesses have implemented systems of corporate social responsibility becoming a primary objective, that its activity also produces a social benefit. On this basis and focusing on the perspective of Corporate Social Responsibility, the holdings of Melia Hotels International S.A in Cuba are examined. Henceforth it is analysed its relationship with the shareholders and managers, with the workers, with the users and consumers and with the clients, reaching the conclusion that, although Melia's objective is to adapt its business model to the current regulations in Cuba, it does not always result in applying the most beneficial measure for the environment.
