Delve into the Culture of Cuba and Discover the Authentic Cuba on Support for the Cuban People Cultural Tours from USA

After President Trump’s announcement on USA Cuba travel on June 9, 2022, none of the existing 12 categories of Cuba legal travel have been eliminated, the US embassy in Havana will remain open and commercial flights will continue to Havana only.

Art Academic and Educational Institutions, Cultural Organizations and Foundations and others can organize cultural tours in Cuba for its members and general public under the General License for Educational Activities, the General License for Group People-to-people Educational Travel, the General License for Support for the Cuban People, the General License for Professional Research, the General License for Semi-Professional & Amateur International Sports Competition, the General License for Humanitarian Projects, the General License for Activities of Private Foundations or Research or Educational Institutes, and others.

However, the cultural trips to Cuba sponsored by these organizations must meet specific OFAC requirements to be in compliance with current USA Cuba travel regulations that remain in place. A full schedule of activities in Cuba that promotes exchanges in between US citizens and Cubans, not having free or recreational time in excess, not engaging in tourist activities are some of the criteria to be met in order to qualify to visit Cuba legally under the general license.

Depending on the sort of cultural travel experience that a given US art organization wishes and is entitled to organize, legal requirements both in USA and in Cuba can vary. So it is important to work with a Cuba travel service provider that has the experience and the proper contracts and contacts in Cuba and in North America to organize and run custom-made cultural trips to Cuba in compliance with current regulations on USA Cuba travel.

US professionals can travel to Cuba legally in certain cultural tours to Cuba in order to conduct professional research related to their profession, professional background or area of expertise, including their area of graduate-level full time study. Others can simply join our Cuba Real or Cuba Engage tours which are in compliance with the regulations of the General License for Support for the Cuban People travel to Cuba.
