Since Cuba has a colorful political history, it is not always the first place someone would choose to vacation. However, the country is beautiful with so many cultural destinations. You can spend your entire vacation in Havana, walking the streets lined with crumbling buildings. Rich with museums and art galleries, it is the perfect place to absorb the culture of mysterious country. If hiking is more your style, going to the town of Vinales will give you picturesque scenery, flat top hills perfect for hiking, and the ability to enjoy self-made bike routes. Up until recently, travel to Cuba has been restricted, so many of these places have not been seen my many travelers. Lodging can be pleasant and affordable for the basics, with hotels such as Casa el Islendo or Casa Caribe Star. If you want a little more comfort, Casa el Porry and Hostal Enrique are mid-cost hotels. A Director of Tourism would emphasize the beautiful scenery, rich culture, and unique experience.

One tourist attraction that features a natural value to the destination is their mountains. They also have bike routes through tobacco fields. People also hike their mountaints. 1 tourist attraction that has cultural value to the destination is their art work. They have a lot of valuable artworks that shows their culture.

The Playa Larga is a small fishing village on the Cuban coast. There are varied ecosystems of wetlands mangrove forests, coral reefs, and underwater canyons. Havana seems to be a city frozen in time. The imperial Spanish architecture hides cool cafes and quirky shops. The streets are filled with art of new generation conflicted over Cuba’s political past and communist present. A lodging option could be the Hotel Saratoga. The view from nearby old town to their comforting rooftop pool. Travelers can stay with locals and services from hosts is usually excellent. Car rentals and transportation system in Cuba are expensive. Traveling during the pandemic should be fine as long as travelers take safety measures. Wear masks and keep distance from others. The Director of Tourism would use this information to attract visitors by describing what Cuba offers. What visitors would see along with how they would get around. Give them lodging options with flexible pricing because many visitors would want to stay within their budget.
A tourist attraction from Cuba that is special, is how it has a complex history. Like how African slaves used to work for people then a cheap Chinese workforce was sent to replace them when slavery was gone. A tourist attraction that is cultural, is how Cuba is a unique place to visit. Cuba’s things are somehow different from other places. They have different holidays and traditions too. It would be difficult for people to travel around the destination in a pandemic because disease is spreading. People will be scared of them getting the disease, by touching the thing the people who had the disease touched. I think the Director of Tourism will tell you the best places to go in Cuba. I think the Director of Tourism will also tell you the best things to explore in Cuba.
