The Cuba Tourist Board announced earlier this month that Canadian visitors to Cuba have surpassed arrival numbers registered in 2018.

Cuba announced that it had officially welcomed over a million Canadian visitors through the 2019 travel season.

“2019 was an exciting year for Cuba with the Havana 500 celebrations, and the heightened excitement and energy still continues” said Lessner Gomez, Director of the Cuba Tourist Board.

“We look forward to welcoming even more of our Canadian friends to Cuba in 2020 and to share Cuba’s unique spirit and soul, as well as celebrating the 61st Anniversary of the Cuban Revolution.”

Experts agree that Cuba continues to be an intriguing, dynamic and culturally rich destination for travelers from around the world. The strong 2019 travel numbers, they say, are a result of the opening of brand-new luxury hotels in a number of destinations on the island, the investment in the refurbishment of many properties and the devoted endeavor by Cuba’ tourism industry.

Cuban tourism authorities say they plan to continue the development and expansion with a lot of exciting announcements to come in 2020.
