Educational Travel Regulations Open Up US Travel Opportunities to Cuba Luis Diaz - Authentic Cuba Travel
go to original October 3, 2012

The 28th International Jazz Festival of Havana “Jazz Plaza 2012”, organized by the internationally renowned Cuban jazz musician Chucho Valdes and sponsored by the Cuban Institute of Music (ICM), will run December 20-23 at several locations in the Cuban capital.

The island of Cuba has long been hailed as one of the most remarkable historic travel destinations in the world. With so many UNESCO Heritage Sites, the opportunity for educational study on the island is certainly vast. Until recently, however, travel sanctions in Cuba prevented travelers from the United States from visiting the island.

With new regulations regarding educational travel, however, educators both in the US and around the globe have the chance to experience this beautiful Caribbean island firsthand, and Authentic Cuba Travel offers the very best way to see it.

Authentic Cuba Travel works to ensure that visitors to Cuba leave with a real sense of what makes the island and the Cuban people so remarkable. Tours are created in close collaboration with both educational and cultural organizations in order to give a more authentic experience, and the result is a richer, truer Cuban travel experience.
