Virtual Professional Business sessions will take place on May 7 and 8, which are two days that focus on innovation and growth and exclusive online networking for tour operators, agencies, and airlines. Industry professionals can access the specialized platform at www.fitcuba.net.

On May 9th FITCuba will move to Josone Park in Varadero for an in-person celebration. The Public Day invites everyone to experience Cuba’s diverse tourism offerings firsthand through interactive showcases and spirited cultural activities.

The Cuba Tourist Boards says that for decades, a unique bond has connected Canada and Cuba. As the island looks forward to resuming full-scale operations, “FITCuba 2026 serves as a vibrant invitation to keep that special friendship alive” This year’s fair is designed to bridge the distance, blending modern digital efficiency with the incomparable warmth of Cuban hospitality.

The Cuba Tourist Board says all partners and sun-seekers are invited to join them in shaping the future of travel to the island.

The announcement comes as the country is in the midst of ongoing fuel shortages and power outages, leading to Canadian airlines suspending flights to the destination.
