VOICED : Boom turistico en Cuba eleva tarifas de hoteles pero no calidad

Cuba experienced a significant increase in tourism in 2016, partly due to improved relations with the US and the passing of Fidel Castro. However, the surge in visitors led to inflated hotel prices that do not match the quality offered, with issues like poor hygiene and deteriorating facilities. Despite high costs, Cuba has not yet met international quality standards. The state-owned infrastructure is slow to receive maintenance, affecting service quality.

The tourism sector remains crucial for Cuba's economy, prompting authorities and experts to address these challenges.
