The Cuba Tourist Office in London reports that tourism operations on the Island are proceeding normally and that demand remains stable. Bookings continue to be made from various markets, underpinned by an improvement in the global perception of the destination. Visitor feedback during this period has been notably more positive than that recorded last year.
The hotel infrastructure is energy self-sufficient, thanks to independent power supply systems and backup generators, which significantly reduce the risks of possible power supply disruptions. The fuels needed for its operation have been duly secured. Similarly, private businesses such as rental homes and other tourist services have taken measures to minimise the impact of possible power outages.
It should be noted that around 55% of the country's electricity is generated from oil and gas produced in Cuba. The country also has more than 1,039 MW of installed photovoltaic capacity, connected to the National Electricity System (SEN). The first battery backup projects are already being installed, designed to store part of the energy generated during the day for use at night. This infrastructure continues to expand at a rapid pace, with the support of important strategic partners.
The health situation remains under control, thanks to the reinforcement of vector control actions implemented by the Cuban health system. Cuba demonstrates, once again, its renowned experience in managing epidemics and pandemics. Systematic fumigation efforts remain active in major tourist destinations.
Similarly, the supply of food and supplies needed for the current tourist season is guaranteed, following the approval of new import companies and the implementation of innovative marketing schemes, in coordination with wholesalers and small and medium-sized enterprises in the private sector.
Air operations continue to run smoothly and reliably.
Cuba continues to welcome visitors, offering its beautiful beaches and natural landscapes, its rich culture and history, a warm climate, the renowned hospitality of its people and one of the highest safety ratings in Latin America.
