MILLIONS OF AMERICANS TRAVEL TO CUBA

Havana Hotels in Cuba

HAVANA CUBA  TO MIAMI FLORIDA. Over one thousand tourist arrive to Cuba from the USA every single day making America, Havana's long-time political arch rival, Cuba's second largest source of tourism directly behind Canada, stated Cuban ministry of Tourism official from Havana. If this  trend continues by next year America will be the number one tourist in Cuba. American Travel charters flying to the Communist Cuba say their USA-Cuba travel business has boomed since American President Barack Obama's administration lifted restrictions last year on Cuban-Americans visiting their homeland, and also loosened curbs on academic, religious, cultural and other professional Cuban travel visas. U.S. citizens were previously forbidden from visiting Cuba without American government's Visa under a wide-ranging U.S. trade embargo on all of Cuba imposed back in 1960 by President John Kennedy.

Massive increase in Cuban Travel this year compared with last year quoted Cuban born owners of GoCuba Charters, the oldest of a growing number of American Cuban companies chartering direct flights to Cuba.
October posted over 265,000 American tourist to Cuba from the USA. November and December are the peak months, so Cuba ministry of Tourism expects over 330,000 Americans to travel to Cuba on direct American flights originating from the United States this year mostly from Miami. Cuban tourism industry officials said more and more U.S. American citizens or Cuba-bound tourist born in the United States were also arriving through third countries such as Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas to get around the U.S. travel ban and to avoid licensing hassles, or find a less expensive Cuba flight.

Regular scheduled commercial flights directly between Havana Cuba and Miami, New York in the United States which lie less than an hour's flight apart, separated by the Florida Straits allows for millions of American tourists in Cuba every year. Estimates of U.S. tourist to Cuba for the first year will be more than 400,000 according to U.S. State Department.

CUBA EXPANDS VARADERO AND HAVANA AIRPORTS TO ACCOMMODATE AMERICAN TOURIST

Image via WikipediaCuba reported 2.5 million tourists in 2009, with Canada topping the list with close to 915,000 visitors, followed by Great Britain at 172,000 and Spain at 129,000.  Cuban National Statistics Office http://www.one.cu says that Canadian arrivals through October of this year have increased significantly, while there was little change from England and a huge drop in Spanish tourist due to the European economic meltdown. Cuba reported over 52,000 tourist arriving from the United States in 2009, but those of Cuban origin were included under a wide separate category of other tourist. Local tourism officials said 80,000 U.S. citizens came in 2008, including Cuban-Americans.

The official trade union weekly Cuban newspaper, Trabajadores, posted a front page story on Sunday about the expansion of the Havana airport terminal that receives U.S. flights, saying it would be completed by this Christmas and double capacity to allow more American tourists in Cuba. Estimated U.S. travel to Cuba would increase another 30 percent in 2011.  American Legislation that will lift the U.S. restrictions on travel to Cuba will be in Congress once again next year. Such initiatives will have even less chance of passage when a new Congress convenes in January, following the Republican Party's success in the November mid-term elections.

Cuban-American Republican members of Congress are fierce anti-Cuba opponents of opening up more U.S. travel to Cuba, saying there should be no relaxation without political change and human rights improvements on the island. American moderate advocates of more open travel to Cuba hope the Obama administration will at least further loosen remaining restrictions, opening up more so-called 'people to people' contact visits that would favor sports, cultural, artistic, academic and religious exchanges.  Either way you can pretty well guarantee that Cuban travel in now onthe radar of millions of Americans that are counting the days when they will soon be allowed to return to Cuba travel in Havana & Varadero.

CAYO BLANCO VARADERO

Varadero Cuba Sailboat

Vacation in Varadero Cuba

WHITE KEY EXCURSION IN VARADERO

Varadero Cuba has a famous beach called Cayo Blanco, or "White Key", which is a small paradise half an hour away from Varadero, Cuba. You can enjoy a catamaran cruise, do some snorkeling, explore a unique beach, and watch a dolphin show. Cayo Blanco has a long, beautiful and pristine beach. What's unique about this beach is that the water is so shallow that it only reaches your ankle even if you walk some 600-1000 feet away from the shore.

Beaches of Cuba with the extremely shallow water and strips of sand extended to the ocean, are not surprising to see rare sights of people "walking on water.

Varadero Vacations can unwind on a luxury catamaran cruise to Cayo Blanco - an island that’s all white sands and clear waters. Setting sail from Varadero, you’ll have an hour or so to chill out on deck, sit in the shade or top up your tan on the nets as you glide over the waves. Your first stop is a small island where you can grab a snorkel and paddle around the colorful reefs. Next up is Cayo Blanco proper, where you’ll drop anchor off the beach for lunch. Tuck into fresh prawns, chicken, rice and optional lobster on deck as the waves lap around you. Afterward, there’s free time to sunbathe on the coral sands or swim in the ocean, perhaps taking another look at the undersea life - the waters here are bursting with tropical fish. Then, relax on board the catamaran again as we sail back to Varadero. Complimentary rum cocktails and beers are served throughout, helping to make the day complete.

IS THIS THE WORLDS MOST SEXY SECRET BEACH?

Varadero Beach Sexy Secrets In Cuba

 VARADERO CUBA'S SECRET BEACH

Varadero has pristine white sands, gorgeous warm crystal clear blue green water and classic secluded hotels

Recently we spent an incredible month in Cuba, going between stunning Varadero beach and historic Havana.
Varadero is in my opinion the most beautiful sexy beach in the world, attracts tourists from all over the planet and is a fabulous destination to visit if you're looking to have unstoppable wild fun on a pristine, white-sandy beach with unbelievably gorgeous turquoise Caribbean water. You cannot compare the crowded beaches of Australia, Florida, California, Portugal, Spain, Italy nor France but if you want to see a dream beach then visit the 20-kilometer stretch of pure, white sand at Varadero.

Varadero was once the former home of the worlds ultra-rich Americans prior to the Cuban Revolution of 1959, with the likes of Al Capone and John F. Kennedy President owning beachfront mansions.
 After building many new hotels in the late '90s, Varadero now rivals Havana and the rest of the carribbean as Cuba's #1 Hot spot and top tourist attraction. Tourist from all over the world, exept America, have been visiting Cuba in 1986. Cuba has many great resorts with different villas and cabanas in Varadero, but the favourite old style Hollywood hotel is the Hotel International which was opened in December, 1950,  by famous gangster Lucky Luciano. Varadero's premier hotel was the first hotel until the more luxurious hotels were built on the long beaches of north of Varadero town over the past 20 years. Many classic brightly colored art-deco hotels are located right on Varadero beach, like the Hotel International, like much of Cuba, is a living museum and live celebration of the 1950s. Huge glamorous swimming pools created in vintage '50s fashion so that you can imagine Al Capone, Burt Lancaster or Ava Gardner, sipping a mojito and daiquiri by the poolside.

Varadero hotels have classic architecture often decorated by Continental Cuban Cabarets, which is base to a spectacular super sexy hot Latin dance show that rivals Havana's world-famous Tropicana nightclub for glamor. After the show everything turns into a disco so you can dance till the sun comes up. If you get a chance make sure you visit Havana and Varadero Before they change. Havana is the capital city of Cuba and a site not to be missed. You can stay at the fabulous Hotel National de Cuba located in the lively Vedado area. It is an exciting, cosmopolitan city, bubbling over with life, wild energy and plenty of hot excitement, not to mention classic 1950s American antique cars.

Havana is among the Top 5 adventure cities in the world, up there with Amsterdam, New York, Rio de Janiero and Montreal. You will love walking around Old Havana, the Malecon, the seaside walkway beside the Bay of Havana, Vedado or La Habaña Vieja. Don't miss the bronze statue of John Lennon, which has the former Beatle sitting on a park bench near Vedado park where President Fidel Castro unveiled the statue of Lennon. Fidel is a hero in Cuba for his stance against the Vietnam War and his fight for world peace.

Tropicana's Sexy Dancing Girls

Music & Dancing can be found everywhere in Havana and you can hear wonderful music rising from any number of patios, terraces, bars, lounges and restaurants. Most clubs are free of charge and you can sip your favorite Cuban beer, Cristal or Buccanero, or maybe the famous Cuba Libre (rum and coke) or a daiquiri while listening to amazing Cuban Music. It will make your heart sing, your body pulsate and your heart will be captured once again by the love of Cuba.

VARADERO MAP

VARADERO HOW TO GET THERE

Varadero Cuba is in the province of Matanzas. Varadero is the most famous beach resort in Cuba, and one of the largest resorts in the Caribbean. Also known as ‘Blue Beach' because of its clear, calm waters, Varadero was founded back in the 19th century by a group of rich families from Matanzas city. But it became famous after the millionaire Irenée du Pont de Nemours built his estate on the so-called Península de Hicacos, although hotels only started to be built later in the 1950s. Since the early 1990s most of the peninsula has been developed for international tourism and the majority of the 50 or so hotels are co-owned by a foreign business. Varadero is fronted by a 20km (12-mile) fine white sandy beach, which is bathed by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream.

Who goes there?
During most of December through to February, Varadero is mostly visited by European and Canadian tourists who come to relax and enjoy the warm sun. Locals visit Varadero during summer time, from June through to August, which means the beaches can be crowded during those months.

What beautiful beaches! No need to search for the perfect spot, since Varadero is located on some 21 km of white powder sand beaches that makes up the Peninsula de Hicacos. Naturally water sports are a key ingredient of your holiday, and most hotels offer a wide range of activities.
The famous cuban drink the MOJITO is a special blend of sugar, fresh mint, soda water, lime juice and fine Cuban Club rum - is a refreshing drink in the hot Cuban sun. A very famous Cuban drink, invested by Ernest Hemingway who made the mojito famous with his taste for the Caribbean Rums.
The Parque Nacional Cienaga de Zapata is a 350 sq. km area that has been dedicated as a UNESCO biosphere reserve.  The park is a great area for tourists to get photos of many animals and birds. It is complete with a crocodile farm and Laguna del Tesoro (Treasure Lake) for fantastic fishing. Those who are lucky may catch a manguari, which has the body of a fish and the head of a crocodile.
Cubans love music, and you should try to find some local groups who perform live outside the confines of the hotel strip. Although availability of necessities for tourists has improved dramatically over the years, it is still a good idea to take any familiar items you may need, such as toiletries, film, and certainly any medications.
