"Cuba: The New Beginning" Pre-Tour Briefing (Sept.)

"Cuba: The New Beginning" Pre-Tour Briefing (Sept.)

Why Cuba? Why now?

The Chamber's next exciting group tour, "Cuba: The New Beginning" (April 13 - 20, 2016), takes you to the land of Afro-Cuban culture, Che Guevara's revolution, Fidel Castro, Salsa dancing, rum and sugar cane, Caribbean beaches, and vintage American cars...

Cuba has been under U.S. embargo since 1960, and traditional vacations to Cuba have been (and still are) forbidden by the U.S. government. But now the U.S. and Cuba have reopened embassies in both countries, travel restrictions have relaxed, and thousands of Americans will travel to Cuba in 2016 to learn more about the people, culture, and economy! 

Join Us for a Pre-Tour Briefing and Presentation

Thursday, Sept. 24, 5:30-6:30 PM, at the Chamber, 904 East Shore Dr., Ithaca NY 14850.  Presentation and Q&A led by Chamber staff and a representative from our tour trusted partner, Central Holidays West. Pre-registration is appreciated but not required.

RELATED: Attend a Free Presentation on the History of U.S.-Cuba Relations on Thursday, November 19, 2015, 7:00 – 9:00 PM, at The History Center in Tompkins County, 401 E. State/MLK Jr. St., Suite 100, Ithaca, NY. María Cristina García, Ph.D., will present the talk and slide show. Free and open to the public, presented by The History Center and the Chamber of Commerce.
