Some 200,000 tourists arrived in Cuba in July, a 6 percent increase as compared to the same period of 2008, according to an announcement made by the Cuban National Office for Statistics.
This growing trend is reflected on the report, which shows a steady increase over the last three years, that is, from July 2006 to July 2009.
There was a 3.1% growth in the number of tourists coming to Cuba from January to July this year, when the figure of visitors to the island totalled some 1.5 million.
This represents another 47,000, as compared to the first seven months of 2008, thus becoming the period with the largest number of arrivals to the country.
