Thanks to some “special discounts” on travel packages, Russian tourism now has a greater presence in Cuba. There has been no other alternative but to encourage frequent sales so that more Eurasian travelers are motivated to visit the Island.
This good news for tourism in Cuba was confirmed by several Russian tour operators. The discounts in Cuban hotels have been, in some cases, substantial. Hence, more vacationers are adding to the reservations for these months of extreme heat.
The prices of the current season are more affordable if we compare them with the summer of 2023. Likewise, the tourism authorities on the Island established discounts of up to 45% compared to the last winter season.
To the topic referred the Russian Union of the Travel Industry (RST). “Cuba’s demand this summer season is comparable to that of the same period last year. As in the winter months, in summer the most popular resort in Cuba is Varadero.
Havana-Varadero combined tours are also highly requested. These programs are in especially high demand, as they allow you to combine tourist visits and beach vacations.”
Fun&Sun flies with Conviasa
It also emerged that the Russian travel agency Fun&Sun maintains its flight program to Cuba with the Venezuelan airline Conviasa. Operations will continue until October 20, with departures once every 15 days.
The company reported that “demand is stable, so we will announce its extension in the near future.” Meanwhile, the Cuban Embassy in the Russian Federation indicated that 185 thousand tourists from that country traveled to the Island in 2023, a figure 3.4 times higher than that of 2022.
For this year, Havana expects between 200,000 and 230,000 tourists from Russia, a figure that would be a record.
By the way, Cristina León Iznaga, Tourism Counselor at the Cuban Embassy in Russia, assured that in the first four months of this year, 89,300 Russians traveled to the Island.
