(1888PressRelease) December 26, 2010 - Even though each year nearly 2 million tourists travel to Cuba, they hardly have the chance to get to know the authentic Cuba that lies beyond the confines of all-inclusive full-packed tourist resorts. Once back home, those travellers realize they have hardly "travelled" to Cuba. It might have been a nice and low cost package vacation from the cold weather, but they do not know much about Cuba's culture and its people.

Toronto- based Authentic Cuba Travel votes for a different kind of tourism for those travelers who demand more from their vacations. With over 24 fully escorted Cuba tours announced for 2011, ranging from educational and cultural to arts and architecture and festival and events, Authentic Cuba Travel captures the Cuban identity that defines the island as a unique Caribbean nation.

For Authentic Cuba Travel, their mission is simple. They want tour participants to get to know the real Cuba and its people. The authentic Cuba travel experience begins from the very moment the tour participant calls to book a tour and finds tour directors fluent in Spanish and English who have lived and worked inside the Cuba travel industry for many years. Once in Cuba, groups are escorted 24/7 by world-renown Cuban speakers and university graduated guides.

Thanks to the direct involvement of Cuban cultural and educational organizations; universities and colleges; environmentalists and conservationists institutions; local communities and others in the design and operation of their Cuba tours, the quality and variety of Authentic Cuba Travel programs is unparalleled in the Cuba travel industry. To mention some:

Cuba Educational Tours. Working under the auspices of the Cuban Teacher Union, the University of Havana and the University of Santiago de Cuba, Authentic Cuba Travel offers North American professors, teachers, and educators a unique opportunity to get to know Cuba's Education System, culture, history and people.

Cuba Cultural Tours. Ranging from Visual Arts and Photography Tours, to Dance and Baseball Tours, or simply Family Discovery Tours, Authentic Cuba Travel grants tour participants access to the homes/ studios of the most prestigious Cuban contemporary visual artists; introduces travellers to Cuba's finest dancers and baseball players; and provides a unique opportunity for families to enjoy a nice all inclusive luxury vacation packed with educational, cultural and nature oriented activities.

Cuba Architecture Tours. Cuba has some of biggest and better conserved Spanish colonial architecture cores in America. No wonder, Cuba's Architecture is one of the most significant attractions for foreign visitors to the largest island in the Caribbean; Authentic Cuba Travel captures it all in its Seven Historical Cities or Architects on Tour programs.

Cuba Nature Tours. Authentic Cuba Travel's bird watching and nature eco tours offer the opportunity for North American nature lovers to witness the great biodiversity of the largest and most unspoiled island in the Greater Antilles.

Hosted and fully sponsored by Cuba's key Cultural Ministries and Organizing Committees, Authentic Cuba Travel Festival tours all come with complimentary "All Access" Pass to participate in official venues and activities of Cuban festivals, being the Jazz Festival, Book Fair of Havana, Fire Festival, Cigar Festival or any other event.

For Authentic Cuba Travel, sustainable tourism is where tour participants can enjoy their holiday and at the same time respect the culture of people and the environment. It also means that local people get a fair say in the design of their itineraries and receive most of the money that their tours generate. Authentic Cuba Travel itineraries are designed within the guidelines of Cape Town Declaration on Responsible Tourism.

Authentic Cuba Travel staff has years of experience in the Cuba travel industry and with North Americans travellers. If you really want to visit the real Cuba, Authentic Cuba Travel is without doubt a great alternative to "sun & beach" packages for those who demand more from their vacations.
