He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- “It was important to us to craft an itinerary that not only captured the joy of the Havana Pride Parade but offered insights into the incredible work being done here to advance the cause of LGBTQ rights,” says Yaima Sanchez, Co-Founder, and COO of Cuba VIP Travel.
- The new tour has been designed as a celebratory response to the landmark announcement earlier this year that the Cuban National Assembly was backing a constitutional change that will, for the first time, allow same-sex marriage in the country.
- We knew we needed to create a travel experience that truly revealed the soul of the LGBTQ movement in this remarkable city, while also giving something back, in terms of funding, to the local organizations we admire.
