S. American Tourism to Cuba on the Rise

The wave of South American visitors to Cuba increased by 12 percent in the first nine months of this year, according to Luis Felipe Aguilera, from the Cuban Ministry of Tourism (MINTUR).

Aguilera, who is Director of the Information and Promotion Department for South America, told Prensa Latina that his forecast is to close the year with over 115,000 South American visitors, a significant increase of over 25 percent compared to last year, when at least 85,000 travellers from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay visited the Island.

"The number of visitors from main tourist markets is falling; therefore, we decided to implement a promotion campaign titled Authentic Cuba," he said.

"It is very flexible and adapts to different means; it is very authentic, as its name indicates; it shows the strength of our destination and approaches what the client expects when visiting the country," he explained.

Aguilera presented the promotion campaign during the 7th Encotur Fair on October 13-14, in Montevideo, where a six-minute video showing the beauty of Cubaâ?Ös landscape was screened.
