Speaking with Prensa Latina, the Tourism Counselor at the Cuban embassy in Argentina reaffirmed “the continuity of tourism operations on the island following the new restrictive measures announced by the United States.”

  Although about ten airlines—including Air France, Air Canada, and Iberia—temporarily suspended  Cuban destinations. Spain’s Air Europa increased its service to four weekly flights, and Italy’s Neos Air resumed its flights.

  Additionally, the Italian chain Domina Hotels Group signed an agreement with the Gaviota Tourism Group to manage three hotels in Cuba: one in Varadero and two in Havana.

  “The new package of unilateral sanctions does not alter the continuity of international tourism operations to Cuba,” he emphasized.

  Aguilera clarified that “these measures are limited to the scope of United States jurisdiction and do not constitute an international ban on marketing Cuba as a destination, nor do they modify existing operating conditions for companies based in third countries.”

  Tourism programs, international flight operations, hotel reservations, specialized tours, and promotional activities “continue to proceed entirely as normal across all source markets.”

Cuba’s Ministry of Tourism and its associated entities—the official assured—maintain their commitments to operators, travel agencies, airlines, and strategic partners in Latin America, Europe, Canada, and other regions, guaranteeing service delivery and compliance with established commercial agreements.
