Targeted tours to lure more visitors

Travel authorities in Cuba have designed a series of tours that take in historical and cultural sites and natural scenery to attract more Chinese visitors to the island.

More than 28,000 Chinese traveled to the country last year, making up only a small proportion of the total 3 million foreign visitors, according to local tourism data.

Tania Velazquez Lopez, the former consul-general to China, has said her nation is designing more tour packages that will appeal to Chinese tourists, and aims to offer at least 85,000 hotel rooms by 2020.
