More say hello to Havana

The West Australian December 26, 2010, 10:37 pm. Cuba says its crucial tourism sector is looking up, with the number of visitors rising 4 per cent in 2010.

The official Prensa Latina news agency says some 2.5 million people visited the Caribbean island this year. That compares with about 2.4 million in 2009.

The report says authorities hope foreign visitors reach 2.7 million next year.

Tuesday's report said Canadians topped the ranks of tourists, followed by Italians, Germans and Spaniards.

The United States' nearly half-century-old trade embargo keeps most Americans from travelling to Cuba. Tourism is among Cuba's biggest sources of foreign income, and the sector is crucial to the island's faltering economy.
