CUBA: What are your vacation plans.....

[Divernan]

28. Gate 1 Travel has a state dept. approved people-to-people program in Cuba

which has been active for 3 years. I used this agency for a solo trip to Istanbul some years back and it was quite reputable and gave good value for the money. Gave me a choice of air carriers (I took Air France), hotels, and optional day & evening activities. I've always wanted to see Cuba - but 2008 wiped out my retirement savings/foreign travel activities. If I could afford it, I would go there with this program.

Re it's Cuba program:

We are excited about the prospect of improved relations with Cuba. Discovery Tours by Gate 1 is proud to be one of a select few tour operators to have been granted a People to People license by the US Office of Foreign Assets.

Cuba will undoubtedly remain an exciting destination for years to come.
