Almost one million Canadian tourists visited Cuba last year , the top country of origin for visitors by some margin.

A recent decision by the Canadian tour operator, Sunwings Vacations Group , to remove 26 hotels from its Cuba portfolio is a blow to the island’s struggling tourism industry.

Cuban tourism has almost halved since the high point of nearly five million visitors during the Obama-era détente with Cuba .

The Trump Administration rolled back President Obama ’s engagement policies, and then the Covid-19 pandemic sent the industry into freefall.

Many of those hotels registering much lower occupancy rates than originally predicted.
