TV Yumuri He also recalled that during the current year the Cuban Government expects around 3 million 500 thousand tourists to arrive in the country; a figure much higher than that intended in 2022, which was far from being fulfilled.
Last December, the Canadian airline Air Transat resumed its flights to Havana, after three years suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With Canada as the main issuer of travelers to Cuba, Canadian tourism has traditionally been a lifeline for the Cuban regime; and it remained so during 2022.
According to official data Published by the Island’s Statistics and Information Office (ONEI), at the end of July of last year the figures reaffirmed Canada as the main source market for tourists to Cuba, with 258,896.
In June 2022 the Cuban regime presented to Cuba as a “tourist destination” in Montreal, as part of its strategy to boost the tourism sector. Cuban Tourism Minister Juan Carlos García Granda, Vice Minister Adalberto Venero, MINTUR commercial director Gihana Galindo, and the Cuban Consul General in Montreal, Susana Malmierca, met with important Canadian agencies dedicated to recreation.
