The World Travel Awards were created 22 years ago to acknowledge, reward and celebrate the excellence of all sectors of the tourism industry.

Who says that Cuba isn’t a shopping destination? The best cigars and rums in the world, a wide selection of arts and crafts, stylish boutiques, jewellery, musical instruments and competitive prices for tourists are just some of the attractions for shopaholics. Not only in Havana, but in Varadero, Trinidad, Holguín and even at the easternmost tip of the Island: Santiago de Cuba, shoppers will find a whole host of local and truly authentic treasures reflecting the heritage, creativity and passion of the Caribbean.
