Cuba: A Million Tourists Already!

As of April 5, Cuba had welcomed a million tourists this year so far, five days earlier than in 2011, according to a Ministry of Tourism press release.

The information provided indicates an approximate increase of 4% in the number of arrivals and a 12% increase in income, during the first three months of the year. The encouraging report noted that, in particular, the numbers of visitors from Canada, Argentina, Russia, Germany, France, Mexico and Scandinavia grew, representing a trend which is expected to continue over the coming months.

Tourism from other countries such as Colombia, Peru and Holland is also expected to continue on the rise.

Reaching this important number of visitors, in a shorter period of time, confirms that Cuba’s attraction as a destination which offers peaceful, healthy, secure and reliable options is becoming more widely appreciated. The Ministry statement indicated that these figures inspire an even greater commitment, on the part of the Cuban people, to these visitors who have chosen our country.
