For us, Cuba represents an absolutely fantastic destination, and we work hard to return after two years of global impact from the Covid-19 pandemic, from which of course the island did not escape, the general director of the Le Vacon group told Prensa Latina. Julien Hamon.
In this sense, he highlighted that several groups of travelers are already confirmed to visit the largest of the Antilles in the coming months with the company Voyages Internationaux, specialized in circuits, one of the preferred modalities of the French.

For her part, the general director of the Sol Latino tour operator, Katia Darchy, considered that the recovery of the market will be gradual, after the global effects caused by the pandemic.
Since November we began to operate, informing travel agencies and clients, and I think we are living the moment to convince them that they can now return to a country that preserves its great qualities due to its human, cultural and natural wealth, he told Prensa Latina .
According to Darchy, the island constitutes a privileged destination, based on its security, both physical and health, the welcoming environment and its indisputable beauty.
