ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“The CubaATI website is officially launched today (Monday) by AmericanTours International, LLC (ATI) to make travel to Cuba easy from the United States,” announced CEO Noel Irwin Hentschel. The CubaATI www.CubaATI.com online presence was specifically designed to facilitate travel for Americans who qualify to visit Cuba under U.S. regulations.

AmericanTours International, LLC is a licensed Travel Service Provider (TSP) sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to provide travel services to Cuba (License No.CU-78880).

“An advantage of using the CubaATI website is the ‘one-stop’ arrangements of hotels, ground transportation,international and domestic air travel, professional local guides, sites of interest and special events throughout the entire island”

“ATI specializes in creating trips for a traveler’s particular interest while ensuring they come to understand the distinct culture and authentic history of a destination and meet new friends. ATI is now able to provide the same high quality service and life-transforming experiences to the many U.S. citizens and residents who qualify under U.S. guidelines to visit Cuba with the launch of CubaATI,” Hentschel stated.

“An advantage of using the CubaATI website is the ‘one-stop’ arrangements of hotels, ground transportation, international and domestic air travel, professional local guides, sites of interest and special events throughout the entire island,” stated AAA CEO Don Gagnon.

In January 2011, President Obama announced new policy changes that will significantly increase the ability for U.S. citizens and residents to legally travel to Cuba for educational, cultural, religious and journalistic activities, including the return of “people to people” education travel and travel to participate in clinics and workshops.
