Tourism operations in Holguín, Cuba, have fully resumed following a short suspension caused by Hurricane Melissa, the Cuba Tourist Board announced today.
The first two commercial flights from Canada—operated by Air Transat and WestJet—are scheduled to arrive today at Frank País International Airport, marking a quick recovery for one of Cuba’s most popular resort regions.
Officials said recovery and rehabilitation efforts were completed in record time thanks to coordinated work between local authorities, national emergency teams, and hotel staff. Essential services including electricity, water, transportation, and communications have been fully restored.
Tourist areas along Guardalavaca, Pesquero, and Esmeralda beaches are once again open and operating at full capacity.
“We would like to extend a special thank you to the travel agents who have kept customers informed at all times and have worked tirelessly to rebook and accommodate their clients,” said Gihana Galindo, director of the Cuba Tourist Board.
