*Cuba’s national statistics office (Onei) has released new figures showing that Cuba received a total of 450,353 international tourists in the first eight months of 2026, down 64.4% on the same period the previous year. The latest Onei figures reflect the crisis afflicting Cuba’s tourism sector and the rest of its economy due to the campaign applied by Washington aimed at pressuring it to make economic and political reforms.
