In addition, the Cuban community abroad contributed 210,019 international travelers and residents on the island added 431,580 flights, bringing the total number of these travelers in that period to 1,929,286 people.

Tourism, the Cuban economy’s main driving force, is key to the economic recovery of the island, which has been suffering for more than two years from a serious economic crisis with a great shortage of basic products (food, fuel and medicine) and high inflation. 

The tourism sector is the second contributor to the gross domestic product (GDP) and the third source of foreign exchange, after professional services and remittances, according to estimates by various independent experts.

Tourism in Cuba: a driving force in decline

Cuba received 1.6 million international travelers in 2022 when its goal was to host 1.7 million, readjusted from the initial forecast of 2.5 million, and according to ONEI.

Before the pandemic, it received between 4 and 5 million tourists a year.

The authorities have set themselves the goal of reaching 3.5 million international tourists in 2023, a goal that the authorities of the sector recognize is “very high” but maintain that they are working to achieve that goal.

Its situation contrasts with similar destinations in the region, such as Punta Cana (Dominican R.) or Cancun (Mexico), which are registering all-time highs in visitors after the pandemic.
