Cuba reports 1 mln tourists in Q1

HAVANA, April 11 (Xinhua) -- Cuba registered the arrival of one million tourists in the first quarter of 2011, the Ministry of Tourism reported Monday.

The figure represents an increase of 10.4 percent compared with the same period in 2010.

The ministry said in a statement the rise was attributed to more tourists from Canada, Russia, Argentina, Britain, Chile, Poland, Venezuela and Belgium.

The ministry also said the revival of cruise operations since last November had provided an important boost to the tourism industry. The cruise industry resumed after a three-year standstill caused by ongoing travel restrictions by the United States.
