subject: More French Tourists Go To Cuba For Their Holidays [print this page] The flow of French tourists to Cuba had a remarkable growth during the high season this year due to the growing demand for the Cuban tourist destinations of Trinidad and Vinales. The number of French visitors to the Caribbean island in 2011 increased by 17.4% over the previous year, said Gilberto Lopez, director of the office of the Cuban Ministry of Tourism in France. This market is a booming time, he said, during the XXXVII edition of the World Tourism Exhibition held at the Parc des Expositions Porte de Versailles in Paris.
Despite all the adversities for tourism given by the global crisis, the industry has continued to grow in Cuba because it is a very safe destination internationally recognized. The costs for Cuba holidays depend on the season, in high season the costs increase, but during the rest of the year you can really enjoy your cheap holidays to Cuba.
There are also special offers, and that's why you need to be aware. However, Cuba is not an expensive destination.
Historically, Cuba has participated in these fairs in Paris. This time Cuba had a stand of 45 square meters, which stood out among the more than 500 destinations in the nearly fifty countries represented at the event. "We set out to visitors the attractions and diversity of our destinations not only from a tourist point of view, but we also highlighted the cultural and historical Cuban heritage," said Lopez.
The stand was marked with the images and the campaign slogan "Authentic Cuba", launched in 2010 to display all the attributes that make the Largest of the Antilles a unique destination. The campaign, promoted by the Ministry of Tourism, manages to convey in few words all the wealth of the archipelago.
The event, which ended March 18, informed the public about a variety of destinations and holidays. The World Tourism Exhibition is considered the most important fair of France dedicated to this industry, and in this edition attracted at least about 100 thousand people.
Besides having a hospitable people who likes to make you feel as if you were home, Cuba has other undeniable attributes from the geographical point of view.
Among other attractions, Cuba has the second longest coral reef in the world with 400 kilometers, beautiful beaches and four cities have been declared World Heritage by UNESCO. Key Santa Maria is largely promoted this year. This beautiful destination is located in the province of Villa Clara, in the central region of the island.
