Sources from the ruling party assured that in the first months of 2025, trips to Cuba by Cuban emigrants fell by 15.7%. The figures for both international tourists and Cubans residing abroad are reluctant to improve this year.
Trips to Cuba on the part of the Cuban community abroad experienced a notable decline in the 15,7 % in the first two months of 2025, according to data from the National Office of Statistics and Information of Cuba (ONEI).
En total, 38,757 Cuban emigrants they visited the island during this period, which represents a significant decrease compared to the previous year.
The report of the ONEI, published this March 22, indicated that until February 28 Cuba received 496,858 travelers, which is equivalent to 77,9 % of the total recorded in the same period of 2024.
Emigrants' trip to Cuba plummets
Of this figure, 374,267 visitors were international tourists, which represents a reduction of 29,1 % compared to the previous year.
According to the report, Canada it remains as the main issuing market, with 173,611 visitors. En segundo lugar, la comunidad cubana en el exterior representó 38 757 visitas. Otros países con una notable presencia de turistas en la isla fueron: Estados Unidos, Rusia, Alemania y Francia.
Todos estos países mantienen vuelos directos con compañías como American Airlines, Rossiya, Air France o Condor. No obstante, y a pesar de la llegada de turistas rusos, esta también disminuyó respecto al año anterior y eso que las autoridades cubanas aspiraban a que los rusos fueran la locomotora del turismo en la isla.
The monthly behavior shows that in January 2025 arribaron a Cuba 196 004 visitantes internacionales, while in February la cifra fue de 178 263 personas.

Hasta los propios cubanos dejaremos de entrar por la faltas de respeto y ética de los aduaneros y el personal de los maleteros,te roban sin pudor a mí en lo personal me picaron las maletas y una no aparece no fui solo yo,reclamas te dan un teléfono que he marcado 200 veces y nadie lo coge hasta cuando se ríen de los viajeros.
a que van a venir los turistas a Cuba si no hay nada que brindarle y arriesgarse a que lo estafen y lo agredan
Tourists from Canada, Spain, and Russia do not return to Cuba due to poor service, mistreatment by tourism workers, the hygienic and epidemic situation, and the poor quality of food in hotels. Until hotels are managed by private initiative, there is no solution. Workers who deal with foreign currency should be paid in foreign currency to create an incentive. If the government does not restructure the management system, tourism, one of the largest sources of foreign currency income for the country, will collapse.
And with the threat or possibility of not being able to enter the US again, even fewer will come; I think that is the real cause.
and visits from Cubans will decrease even more with the thunder of possible non-entry. For Cubans returning to the United States, flights reduce their departures and with them their economy, which not only affects Cubans but also airlines and even stores over there.
United States, well, since the Cubans cannot come, they stop buying things. It's not the same to bring as to send.
