Cuba Hopes to Increase Flow of Mexican Tourists

Cuba hopes to increase the flow of Mexican tourists and visitors to the island, this was revealed during a presentation carried out to tour-operators, travel agents and representatives of settled airlines.

Xiomara Martinez, Tourism counselor at the Cuban embassy, stated that about 82,342 Mexicans visited the Caribbean island in 2014, placing this country's market as one of the major ones for Cuba in Latin America and the Caribbean.

This year's hope is to reach the number of tourists from the Mexican nation, when more than 300 events, some of them dedicated to Mexico, plus other offers that include numerous Cuban cities, will take place in the Caribbean country, Martinez noted.

She mentioned the upcoming Congress "Pedagogia 2015," which has been characterized by a broad participation of Mexican teachers and academicians.

Two events dedicated to Mexico will be also included in the list: the Cucalambeana event, in Las Tunas province, and the Film Festival Santiago Alvarez in Memoriam, in Santiago de Cuba, both in the Cuban eastern region.
