Japan and Cuba work to increase tourist trips to the Caribbean Island
Japanese authorities reaffirmed today the willingness to resume charter flights to Cuba and thus increase the number of Japanese visitors to the Caribbean nation, which in the last three years exceeded 20,000.
In a meeting this Wednesday, the Cuban ambassador in Tokyo, Carlos Miguel Pereira, and the president of the Japanese Association of Travel Agencies (JATA), Hiromi Tagawa, noted the growing interest in the attractions of the Island as a tourist destination, informed the Cuban diplomatic delegation in his Facebook account.
The representative of the Largest of the Antilles visited the headquarters of the Tourist Board of Japan, the main travel agency of the Asian country and one of the largest at the global level, to discuss with their executives on the possibilities of increasing flights to Havana.
Recently, the Japan Outbound Council, an agency attached to JATA, selected the Cuban capital among the best 30 places in America that remain in the preference of Japanese travelers for 2019.
Cuba expects to receive about five million foreign visitors this year.
