Russian Tourists Urged to Postpone Trips to Cuba

Access to Current Information on Energy Situation
Tour operators are closely monitoring the status of energy supply restoration in Cuba. While there have been no mass cancellations so far, some tours have had to be postponed. It is important to stay up to date and in touch with your tour operator before your trip.
Backup Power Sources and Hotel Status
Hotels in Cuba do provide backup power supplies, but these are usually for emergency use. Many hotels may not have elevators, have power-hungry appliances like coffee makers, and have limited ability to charge your phone. It is therefore advisable to check with your hotel about their backup power plans in advance.
Consider postponing your trip
If the power problem is not resolved, it can negatively affect your holiday experience. If your hotel does not have a backup power source or if this situation will make your trip difficult, you should consider postponing your holiday to a more suitable time.
Be Prepared and Stay Calm
Russia's diplomatic mission in Cuba has called on tourists to remain calm. Don't forget to charge your mobile phones in advance and conserve battery. Internet and mobile communications may be disrupted, so it would be useful to take precautions in this regard.
Authorities are trying to quickly resolve this temporary energy problem in Cuba, but Russian travelers should be prepared for these challenges in order to protect both their safety and their vacation pleasure.
