However, no government official has yet to explain how to revert the fall in tourism during the first quarter of this year
MIAMI, United States. – Cuba’s minister of Economy and planning, Alejandro Gil Fernandez, acknowledged in a press conference this Thursday that his government expected to welcome 2.2 million tourists during 2021. This will mean a 6% growth in the economy (after its 11% contraction in 2020).
However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, during the first quarter of 202, only 48,163 visitors arrived in Cuba, a figure that casts doubt on the Cuban regime’s expectations.
The number of visitors that came to Cuba during the first quarter of 2021 was very low. Until March, only 48,163 visitors arrived, i.e., 4.9% of the number of vacationers for the same period 2020. The pandemic prevented tourism’s recovery during the first quarter,” economist Pedro Monreal noted on Twitter.
