🇨🇺🇨🇳🛬 — Cuba is trying to revive its diminished tourism sector with Chinese travelers

➡️ A report from Global Times, a media outlet serving the Chinese Communist Party, states that searches for keywords like "Cuban hotels" and "flights" increased "by more than 40% on the Ctrip travel platform compared to the previous day." This happened half an hour after the announcement of a visa-free policy starting this month for Chinese citizens.
