Spanish hotel firm Meliá Hotels International has made the decision to close various hotel properties within Cuba. This action reflects ongoing difficulties facing the Cuban tourism sector in the current economic and geopolitical climate.
Economic strains and geopolitical tensions during mid-2026 have contributed to an increasingly challenging environment for tourism in Cuba. These factors have influenced Meliá’s decision to reduce its operational footprint on the island, posing a further obstacle to the Cuban tourism industry’s recovery efforts.
