Havana, December 11 (RHC)-- The Cuban Ministry of Justice (MINJUS) has denied information published on social media networks about alleged measures established by that institution for foreigners traveling to the Caribbean nation.

According to its official Twitter account, "this is one more of the gross manipulations carried out as part of the disinformation campaign against the Caribbean island."

The alleged provisions state that, by decision of that agency, all foreign passengers wishing to travel to Cuba must prove that they have sufficient means for the duration of their stay in the Caribbean nation, that is, the equivalent of 50 euros per day.

Likewise, the fake communiqué notes that people must certify that they have such a sum either in cash, in any freely convertible currency (except the U.S. dollar), or possess an international payment card.

"Passengers who do not comply with this rule could be denied entry to the country," the misrepresented information on the Internet concludes.

The dissemination of that message occurs when Cuba resumes the tourist activity, considered the engine of the national economy, after the control of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The island expects to receive at least 2.3 million international visitors in 2022, and in that year, it plans to add four thousand new rooms to the country's hotel networks.
