Havana, Cuba.- The National Statistics Office (ONE) announced that, for the first time in the history of Cuban international tourism, two million visitors arrived in the island in the January-October period.

By the end of last month, 2,068,409 foreign tourists arrived in Cuba, which represents a 3.4% increase compared to the previous year.

In October alone, the number of visitors was 164,675 —a 15.5% increase compared to 2009 and 32.3% more than in 2008. This is the seventh consecutive year that Cuba registers two million foreign tourist arrivals or more.

The main markets continue to be Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Mexico, Argentina and Russia. Currently, the Tourism Ministry is carrying out a process to improve efficiency that includes new strategies for each of the traditional, emerging and developing markets. One of the main goals is to capitalize on the country’s natural attractions as well as its cultural and social achievements.

ONE announced that on November 25, it will issue its publication “Tourism. Arrival of Foreign Visitors” with data on the tourist sector in October and in the first ten months of the year as well as other interesting information.
