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.
