At Love Cuba, we see travel as something that should benefit the places you visit, not just the people visiting them. Cuba’s economy works a little differently, which means the choices you make while travelling can have a real impact on local people’s everyday lives. When you book with us, your trip helps support Cuban communities in a few important ways:
Rather than relying on large international agencies, we work directly with an exclusive team of Cuban staff based on the island. They know the country inside out and care deeply about the experience you have there. Because we employ them directly, their earnings go straight to them and their families, helping to support their local communities.
We encourage our clients to stay in casas particulares (privately owned homes) as part of their holiday, rather than just big hotels. This means your money goes directly to Cuban families. It helps them maintain their homes, support their families, and reinvest in their local neighbourhoods.
We recommend eating at paladares, which are independently run restaurants. These small businesses are a big part of Cuba’s evolving food scene. By dining there, you’re supporting local chefs, staff, and the farmers who supply them.
From classic car drivers to salsa teachers and local guides, we collaborate with local people who are passionate about what they do. Your trip helps ensure they’re fairly paid for their skills, knowledge, and the time they spend sharing their culture with you.
We design tailor made Cuba holidays that go further than the typical resort experience. Whether it’s visiting tobacco farms in Viñales or artisan workshops in smaller towns, your visit helps bring income to communities that might otherwise miss out on tourism.
When you travel with Love Cuba, you’re not just passing through, you’re contributing in a meaningful way. Your visit helps create opportunities and supports the people who make Cuba such a special place.
