You will arrive in a Caribbean country that has successfully managed the Covid-19 pandemic, despite the difficulties, and with a population almost fully immunized with its vaccines, whose protocols we make available to everyone, she said.

The diplomat pointed out that Cuba has one hundred percent of its tourist facilities certified and has characteristics that make it a different destination.

In addition to nature, culture, and history, they will find the human warmth of a people with a lot of preparation, intelligence, and hospitality, she said at the ceremony, also presided over by the director of Aviation Development at Brussels airport, Léon Verhallen, the head of Business at the terminal itself, Piet Demunter, and TUI Fly executive Erik Follet.
