Cuba woos Kuwaiti travellers with history, beaches and vibrant culture
Cuba is pushing to attract more visitors from Kuwait, highlighting its rich history, vibrant culture and stunning landscapes. The Caribbean country, known for its warm hospitality and well-preserved cities, is working to strengthen tourism ties with the Gulf state. Last year, only around 70 Kuwaiti travellers explored Cuba's beaches, heritage sites and lively music scene.
Cuba offers a mix of natural beauty and cultural depth. Its UNESCO-listed sites include Old Havana, with its neoclassical and baroque buildings, and Trinidad, a colonial gem. The Valle de Viñales, known for its tobacco fields, lets visitors learn about cigar-making, while the Che Guevara Mausoleum in Santa Clara and Hemingway's former home draw history lovers.
The island's appeal extends beyond cities. Crystal-clear waters line its beaches, and Cuban cuisine bursts with bold flavours. Music and dance fill the streets, reflecting the country's energetic spirit. High-quality hotels provide comfortable stays for tourists.
The Cuban ambassador to Kuwait has set a goal to boost visitor numbers in the coming years. Efforts focus on promoting Cuba's diverse attractions—from historic centres like Cienfuegos to the sugar plantation ruins of Valle de los Ingenios.
With its mix of heritage, nature and lively traditions, Cuba aims to become a more popular destination for Kuwaiti travellers. The country's well-developed hotel network and welcoming atmosphere add to its appeal. Officials hope these efforts will lead to a steady rise in visitors from Kuwait.
