The number of cruises to Cuba has sharply reduced
According statistics, since 2005 the quantity of cruises to Cuba has reduced on 90 %: Fidel Castro has considered, that cruise vessels only litter the Caribbean waters. Thus, in 2007 by the ship Cuba was visited only by 11000 tourists - in comparison with 102000 two years ago.
The Cuban government has terminated the contract with the Italian company, which supervised cruise offices on the Island, and the largest cruise organizations, including Royal Caribbean, have excluded Cuba from the routes on the Caribbean islands. This year forecast is also unfavorable: it is expected, that from January till April only by 12 courts, mainly British and German, the will visit the Island.
Maybe, because of this last year 3,5 % less tourists, than in 2006, visited Cuba. The profit of tourist sector has made $2 billion 209 million, that is on 0,6 % less, than in 2006. Sources in the Ministry of tourism of Cuba have named 2007 “unprofitable” and have declared, that Cuba can lose one of the leading tourist resorts at the Caribbean Coast, having conceded leadership to Dominican Republic and the Mexican resort Cancun.
