Be Proud Travel promotes conscious and compassionate tourism in Cuba

Be Proud Travel, a wholesale tour operator specializing in creating inclusive experiences for the LGBTQ+ community, reaffirms its commitment to people through an initiative that promotes conscious, compassionate and direct tourism to Cuba, one of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean.

In order to remain a bridge of connection and hope between travelers and the island, the operator is using its social media to encourage people not to abandon Cuba and to support local entrepreneurs under the slogan “Your trip is their greatest support,” amidst the difficulties Cubans face due to the U.S. fuel blockade.

“Our bond is with people,” the team declares, as at Be Proud Travel they deeply believe “in the transformative power of travel.”

“Today, our solidarity, respect and admiration are unconditionally with the Cuban families, entrepreneurs and workers who, day after day, welcome us with unwavering warmth and resilience. We believe that the best way to support a community is not by distancing ourselves, but by walking alongside it, celebrating its extraordinary culture, and contributing directly to its well-being,” they added in a statement.

“Let’s not leave the island alone. Travel to Cuba, support local entrepreneurs, and connect with its people. Your trip is their greatest support.”

The Be Proud Travel team concludes its call to action with a focus on solidarity: “We travel to connect. We connect to support.” Their solidarity is unconditionally with Cuban families as they promote conscious travel to bring economic relief directly to the hands of those who need it most: their people.
