Safer in Cuba than staying at home

Cubans are waging a heroic battle against coronavirus. We’re working hard to defeat it and make our country healthy for our people and our American guests. Sign up for our notification list so we can send you an invitation to visit when travel to Cuba begins again.

World travel advisories rank Cuba as extremely safe. Guests are told to “take normal security precautions” when visiting the island. The US State Department asks Americans to “exercise increased caution,” placing Cuba on the same safety level as England, France, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, and Belgium.

Lonely Planet travel journal remarks, “There is almost no gun crime, violent robbery, organized gang culture, teenage delinquency, drugs or dangerous no-go zones. If a local comes at you holding a machete, he’s probably about to split open a coconut for you.”  

Unlike Amsterdam, Barcelona, Machu Picchu, Venice, Paris, and other historic destinations, overtourism is not a problem in Cuba. Overtourism causes housing shortages and high costs for food and services. Resentment builds among locals as only a handful reap tourism profits. Visitors often feel the animosity.

In Cuba, everyone benefits equally from tourism proceeds. Cuba’s chief source of income is used to support free education and health care, and environmental, housing and infrastructure projects. When visiting Cuba, you are elevating the lives of many and embraced as a friend.
