“With the opening flight on October 26, a long-standing desire to connect and unite the two nations has been completed. Bolivians and Cubans now have a direct flight from Santa Cruz to Havana and vice versa,” Cuban Ambassador to Bolivia, Danilo Sánchez, said.

Upon launching the “Cuba Única” campaign at the headquarters of that diplomatic mission, along with Janet Ayala, director of the Cuban Tourism Office for the Southern Cone, and Joannia Deguer, first vice-president of Viajes Cuba S.A. business group, Sánchez highlighted the links between the two countries.

Our dream and hope,” the ambassador said, “is that this flight will strengthen the excellent relations between Cuba and Bolivia.

The diplomat also emphasized at the press briefing the desire that BoA’s weekly route will promote an exchange of goods, culture, and sports.

Since October 26, Bolivian tour operators have also been organizing familiarization trips to different tourist destinations in Cuba, with the participation of companies such as Estropical, Kovar, Cuarta Dimensión, and the Bolivian Association of Travel and Tourism Agencies (ABAVIT).
