Cuba, the country that many people want to know
May 10, 2006
LAST year, Cuba welcomed 2,319,
334 foreign visitors, the highest annual figure to
date, and which represents a growth of 13.2% in
relation to 2004, affirmed Manuel Marrero Cruz,
minister of tourism, during the opening of the 26th
International Tourism Fair.
Marrero highlighted the
implementation of innovative strategies as the
principal reason for those results, as the period in
question was difficult for world tourism. During the
last five years, he noted, the crude propaganda
campaign against the sector on the island has
reached its peak and the tightening of the U.S.
blockade provoked considerable losses in the
economic order.

The
Varadero Xanadu
December
12, 2005
PERHAPS it would be a contradiction to say that
there is a mansion called Xanadu in the resort of
Varadero. However, if we follow — precisely— the
myth of the summer capital of Kubla Khan, the
splendor of which Marco Polo spoke, Varadero really
is a Xanadu given the wealth of its nature, its
beaches, its sky and its gardens.

destination.
