Governments and corporations are looking for ways to reduce food-grade plastic pollution
The Russian Union of Travel Industry reported a significant increase in Russian tourists visiting Cuba. By the end of August, nearly 133,000 Russian tourists had arrived in the country, marking a 124% increase compared to the previous year. Russian citizens now rank third in terms of the number of foreign tourists visiting Cuba, trailing only Canadians and Cubans living abroad.
The Cuban embassy anticipates that the influx of Russian tourists will continue to grow throughout the fall. By the end of the year, they expect to welcome over 200,000 Russian tourists. The factors contributing to this growth include the acceptance of "Mir" cards, visa-free travel, and a diverse range of vacation options.
Experts believe that increasing the number of flights to Cuba would further stimulate demand for this destination.Currently, three airlines operate flights to the island: Conviasa (once every two weeks to Havana), Nordwind (twice a week to Varadero and once every 10 days to Cayo Coco), and Rossiya (twice a week to Varadero).
The report notes that Cuba is gradually becoming a year-round destination. Tourists are increasingly choosing to visit the island not only in winter but also in autumn and even summer. Travelers are also showing interest in tours during autumn break and New Year's holidays.
