Travel to Cuba: Tips

Can vacations in Cuba be dangerous?

One of the biggest attractions of Cuba as a tourist destination is its safety, seen in the broadest sense of the word.

The civil defense system in Cuba has been recognized by the United Nations as a model to be imitated by other countries in the area.

Hurricanes are the only natural phenomenon that affects the island in the period from June to November, a period in which about 12 phenomena of this type form, of which only 2 – 3 come close.

A hurricane is not an unpredictable phenomenon; its trajectory is known from its birth, and it is possible to establish the necessary protective measures more than 10 days in advance.

The competent Cuban authorities take action to provide information and preserve property and human lives.

A customer before leaving Italy can know if there are phenomena forming in the area and reorganize their vacation keeping in mind that the length of the country is 1,200 km, so one area could be affected while another may not.

Health safety is also very important.

The national health system has indicators at the level of first-world countries; there are no dangers of diseases nor need for preventive vaccinations.

The stability of the political system and the absence of ethnic or religious conflicts offer tourists the guarantee of being able to visit the entire island without risks of attacks or threats to the person.

Without a doubt, as in any country in the world, a tourist must always observe some preventive measures such as: not showing off valuable jewelry nor carrying exaggerated amounts of money in public places, not purchasing goods in stores outside the commercial network.
