Travel Updates I have good news!!!!! Well for Canadian travelers at least... Mintur confirmed that Balneario de Varadero will reopen on October 15, 2020! Tourists will be able to stay in four and five star hotels, and take excursions and other activities within an approved zone of Varadero, the main destination for sun and beaches in Cuba. It will reopen to international tourism and will resume air operations. It is only a partial reopening, initially of the 4 and 5 star hotels, maritime excursions, nature excursions and other activities in the area. Of course, there will be regular health check ups involved. Unfortunately at this stage people will still not be able to see or stay with loved ones. But it is a positive move and the only one confirmed! We have seen some hotel packages and flights available for Holguin from November. Have had people successfully booking to Santa Clara for December. And even seen some flights to Varadero being cancelled for Late October and even December 🤔 which is confusing, but we think it may be due to restrictions of hotel stays only being required in October, not sure why December would have already been cancelled... Also, Havana is managing its new found freedom so far. Let's hope that will stay positive. Schools in Artemisa also did end up starting, albeit late due to the cyclone hitting their area. So all in all a positive week of developments for Cuba! 🤞🤞🤞 We can keep the good news coming from here on in! |
