Booking.com announced last week it will be the first digital travel brand to offer instant hotel booking for stays in Cuba. The first hotels will be available for booking in the coming weeks. At first, properties will only be available in Havana, with plans to expand the offerings.

“Cuba is a beautiful, culture-rich country that many travelers are keen to visit. At Booking.com, we are on a constant mission to bring our customers everything they want to help them experience the world,” said Todd Dunlap, managing director, Americas, Booking.com. “With the news of the easing of U.S. travel restrictions, we began working immediately with the local Cuban government, tourism authorities and our local hotel partners to launch the first platform to allow travelers to book and confirm instantly with the click of a button. They have been great partners for us on this journey and we are thrilled to facilitate new experiences for U.S. travelers.”
