May 27, 2009

Leading travel agent Thomson is re-introducing holidays to Cuba from summer this year, with its year-round programme set to offer a range of unforgettable travel experiences.

"We're thrilled to have re-introduced the destination of Cuba to the Thomson brand," said Shona Swain, acting general manager for long-haul products, at TUI UK. "It is a magical Caribbean experience offering so much more than just a beach holiday. The city of Havana is an absolute must and in my opinion is one of the most exciting cities in the world. There has never been a better time to visit."

The island is renowned for its fascinating history and lively, welcoming atmosphere. Here visitors can discover magnificent colonial architecture, verdant landscapes and beautiful beaches, all the while enjoying a thriving nightlife and friendly ambience.

Thomson's programme of holidays will enable travellers to discover all the island has to offer, from the enchanting beaches of Varadero and cultural Santiago de Cuba, to the bustling streets of Havana and the majestic Sierra Maestra mountains.
