Canada continues to be the leading market in issuing international travelers," Minister García Granda wrote on his Twitter account.At a press conference after the official inauguration of FITCuba 2023, the Cuban Minister of Tourism acknowledged that the recovery of tourism activity "has been difficult", but expressed confidence in the sector's growing contribution to the island's battered economy. Cuba barely received the arrival of 1.7 million tourists in 2022, compared to the initial forecast of 2.5 million and the 360,000 that arrived in 2021.
