In the middle of its high winter tourism season, Cuba offers higher biosafety standards in line with the new post-pandemic normal, and attractive possibilities—other than its culture and nature—such as the availability of health care provided by prestigious professionals.
An example of this is the Varadero tourist park in the province of Matanzas, some 120 kilometers east of Havana, where efforts have been under way since the onset of COVID-19 to create a more comfortable and safer environment for clients and workers alike.
According to Alexis Medel Aviles Medel, provincial director of medical services, all hotel facilities currently in operation offer care around the clock.
Trends indicate that travelers choose destinations not only for their attractions, but also for their rigorous compliance with epidemiological measures, and they are more competitive to the extent that they meet the new expectations derived from the pandemic.
The preparation of the health teams in the famous resort—home to the world’s second best beach—include learning Russian language, due to the growth of that market which has sent more than 60,000 travelers this year alone.
The Hicacos Peninsula is the only Cuban sun and beach resort fitted with a hemodialysis center and three modern artificial kidneys in operation.
Access to quality care in dentistry, stomatology, X-rays and other specialties at Varadero's state-of-the-art international clinic, is also a guarantee of wellbeing for some travelers.
The Tourism workers in this province were among the first to complete their COVID-19 vaccination schedule, like most of the population in the country has now, and to receive a booster dose.
According to Dr. Medel Avilés, it is an advantage to have fully computerized medical offices in some thirty of its hotels to facilitate payment for medical services and the consultation of medical records in digital format.
The province of Matanzas also provides medical services in the Zapata Swamp, Cuba’s largest and least populated municipality.
Undoubtedly, the prestige of Cuban medicine adds attractiveness to an Island whose qualified human resources can contribute to the recovery of tourism, known as the engine of the national economy.
