Cuba to reopen its borders and simplify entry requirements next month

Cuba will reopen its borders and simplify entry requirements next month after vaccinating majority of its people with home-grown COVID-19 drugs. The country is planning to welcome back overseas visitors and giving a shot in the arm to its affected tourism industry.


Tough pandemic restrictions, drastic reduction in flights to Cuba, and a U.S. ban on most travel to the Communist-run Island under former U.S. President Donald Trump have seriously affected the business and left it trailing behind regional competitors like the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas and Cancun.


As of Nov. 15, Cuba will only require visitors to carry proof of vaccination or a recent PCR to enter the country, in place of quarantine period and multiple PCR tests.


A fully vaccinated population will be a key selling point for an island already well-known for its safety, beaches and turquoise waters, said Francisco Camps, taking care of Spanish firm Sol Melia’s 32 hotels in Cuba.


“Cuba will be one of the safest sanitary destinations and we believe that we can reach visitations similar to 2019 by the end of next year,”Camps said.


Cuba’s home-grown vaccines are currently being reviewed by the World Health Organization.


However, among countries with more than 1 million people, Cuba is vaccinating faster than any other.
