Cuba salsa dance vacation

Planet

When in Cuba we encourage everyone to learn about the country, the culture of the local people and the places being visited. Our guides hold informal talks to inform and discuss with travelers all aspects of local life. This helps to have a better understanding of the area and a deeper appreciation of the people who live there. It is our policy to carefully dispose of all waste whilst we are hiking in national parks. We encourage the use of a filter water bottle to avoid single use plastic bottles for water.

People

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY
100% of the people that we employ on our trips are not only local to Cuba, but also local to each region of Cuba where we operate.. We create a source of fair income and opportunities for professional development and are proud to have a core team comprised primarily of women.

Although we do not have activities or excursions directly linked with LGBTQI+ businesses or locations included in our itinerary, we are LGBTQI+ supporters and encourage and welcome people of all genders and sexualities to join us in Cuba.

LOCAL ECONOMY
We encourage everyone to stay in local homes whilst we are on tour so as to be able to communicate with local people, even at a basic level, and to learn something of local life. All accommodation that we arrange directly benefits locally owned homestays, and we always employ local guides, dancers, musicians and language teachers who are treated well and paid fairly.

We support local Cuban businesses in every aspect of our trips thus contributing directly to the local economy and community, and regularly organise donations for local schools and educational projects.
