Spike in tourism in Cuba: 2 million visitors already in 2015

Two million tourists have visited Cuba from January first till July 10th, according to a press release by the Ministry of Tourism published today in the daily Granma.

The 2 million mark was reached in 39 days less than in 2014, a fact that proves the spike in arrivals in the present year, which translates in a 16 percent growth, thanks to the encouraging behavior of sources markets like Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, the US and Argentina

According to the note, the results show how Cuba as a destination has garnered international recognition as a safe, peaceful and healthy country to visit

In 2014 Cuba achieved its goal of receiving over 3 million tourists in a year for the first time in its history, a feat that seems easy to match and surpass in 2015
