 For Canadian tourists, Cuba is the main Caribbean destination, which is evidenced by the fact that for more than 30 years, Canada has been and continues to be the main source market for the island.

An example of this is that up to last July Cuba received 622,128 Canadian vacationers, 42.52% of the total international visitors who arrived in the country in that period, according to figures from the National Office of Statistics and Information (ONEI).

Nothing is closer to the truth than the testimonies obtained by this magazine in a recent tour of Varadero, the main sun and beach destination on the island. For Christopher Mackay from the city of Ontario, Varadero is a wonderful beach. He has been on vacation 7 times at the Blau Varadero, because he loves the hotel with very good comfort and excellent service. He has enjoyed several tours of the country, which has allowed him to confirm that “the Cuban people are the best, they are wonderful,” he said.

For his part, James Coyle and his wife Sheila from Charlottetown, staying at the Royalton Hicacos, have a special preference for Cuba and especially Varadero. They have visited the island 30 times since 2007, of which 26 times they have stayed at this hotel of the Blue Diamond Resorts chain. “We love Cuba for its climate and, above all, its safety. And something important is that Cubans are very kind, very pleasant. In fact we already have many Cuban friends” said James with emotion.

Finally, the testimony of Linda Robertson, a Canadian who fell in love with Cuba so much that she has made it her second homeland. Linda has lived in Boca de Camarioca, Matanzas province, for five years. “I prefer Cuba to live in. "It's very cold in Canada and I don't plan on going back," Linda told this publication and also said that her favorite vacation spot is the Sol Palmeras hotel in Varadero, where she goes every year.

With such opinions, without a doubt, Canadians prefer Cuba Única for its kind, attentive, hospitable, happy, proud people, for its surroundings and places, beaches, gastronomy, culture, nature, heritage, history and security.
