Tourism to Cuba has experienced a significant decrease in January, with Canada being the main source market of tourists to the Caribbean country, with 88,980 visitors. This figure reflects a fall of 30% compared to the same period last year.
Despite this reduction in tourist influx, hotel construction in Cuba continues to move forward. The hotel industry on the island continues to expand, with new infrastructures aiming to meet tourist demand, despite current challenges.
In the words of an expert from the Cuban tourism sector: "Although visitor numbers have decreased, we continue to invest in the development of our hotel offerings to be prepared for a potential recovery of tourism."
This trend of hotel construction amidst a slowdown in tourism underscores Cuba's long-term vision for its tourism industry, demonstrating its commitment to remain an attractive destination for international visitors.
