Insight Cuba Celebrates Summertime Travel To Cuba: Save Up To $300 Per
Person On Six Signature Tours
NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y., April 14, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After 50
years of being forbidden to visit Cuba, Americans are flocking to the
island nation. At the same time, Cuba is experiencing an economic
renaissance, resulting in a burgeoning restaurant scene, increased
services in the tourism, and an upbeat vibe which is palpable on the
streets of Cuba. There has never been a more exciting time for
Americans to visit Cuba-and Insight Cuba, the leading provider of
U.S.-licensed people-to-people travel to Cuba, is adding one more
reason to go now. The company is offering savings up to $300 per
person during its Summer Promotion, available on six signature
itineraries with 13 departures from June through September.
"Our passengers return home from Cuba constantly commenting on the
changes taking place in Cuba and how amazing it is to be able to see
Cuba during its transformation," says Tom Popper, president of Insight
Cuba. Popper who often travels to Cuba with his daughter during the
summer continues, "Summer is my favorite time to visit Cuba. Like many
tropical climates, Cuba has fewer tourists during the summer, which
translates into more in-depth experiences for our guests, less crowded
places, and a more 'tranquilo' atmosphere."
As always, Insight Cuba guests can choose from a selection of six
exclusive tours, allowing them to travel when they want, for as long
as they want, and at the price they want. The Summer Promotion
