Mayte Suarez Rueda, director of the Cuba Tourist Office in London, has insisted Cuba's tourism industry is continuing to operate despite a US blockade on fuel imports, which has resulted in shortages and power outages.
Cuba is consolidating hotel stays, but Rueda claims all facilities remaining in use can fully guarantee "established service standards", adding: "The essence and authenticity of the Cuba experience remain intact." She has also thanked agents for their loyalty and support.
