Panamanian Travel Agency Promotes Health Tourism in Cuba

The benefits and advantages of Cuba as destiny to channel health problems will be exhibited at the upcoming Tourism Fair in Panama through Belraysa Travel Agency, Jorge Guerra told Prensa Latina. To do this, is scheduled the visit to Panama of a professional from Servimed, Cuban enterprise specialized in the provision of health and quality of life for tourism, said the general manager of the company.

Panama has historically been a good issuer of this specialty to the island, hence our idea is to promote all health services, although there are some more attractive than others, he said.

Among the most demanded treatments by Panamanians stand addictions, retinitis pigmentosa and cancer, in addition to rehabilitation, due to the quality and reasonable prices compared to other similar, he said.

On the subject, Guerra added that in any country, the best-selling product is the one with more deficits.

This is the case of Canada, a nation that despite its development is the first issuer to Cuba cosmetic surgery as a result of lack of operating rooms, so that the state gives priority to operations with more demand and need in the population, he said.

Besides there is lack of specialization among physicians to perform this type of surgery, as well as compliance by the specialists of the established medical protocols, especially during the postoperative process, he said.

Founded in 2010, Belraysa is the only Travel Agency specializing in destination Cuba, particularly in the areas of health and event tourism, though they expect to open soon to the Panamanian and Nicaraguan markets.

In an interview with Prensa Latina, Guerra said that as representatives in Panama of the Cuban Paradiso cultural tourism agency, there is a plan to open an Academy of Art and Culture in this city with the Arte Ganexa University, which would move teachers and students in both senses.

We want to bring Cuban specialists to teach here, and to promote cultural events and festivals in the Caribbean, such as Danzon and Boleros de Oro, he said.

For the third consecutive year, Belraysa will participate in the Panama Tourism Fair, where the Ministry of Tourism of Cuba will be present too.

Among the activities stand tour packages as part of the Authentic Cuba campaign, in addition to promoting the Caribbean destination during the Cuban Night.
