Travelers Can Now Visit Cuba and Interact with the Cuban People on a Custom Experience Led by Absolute Travel and Join their Trip to Cuba for the Iconic Explorers Club
New York, New York (PRWEB) February 17, 2015 -- The adventurous travel company has pioneered destinations in the past (they were the first US-based travel company to send clients to Cambodia after the embargo was lifted, offering Americans and Cambodians the chance to interact in meaningful ways), and are now at the forefront of sending travelers to Cuba. Absolute Travel president Ken Fish says, “Cuba is just ninety miles away, but has been virtually off-limits for travelers—until now. One of our defining features has always been pioneering new destinations. Cuba is a natural addition for us.” Fish added, “But it’s not enough to just visit—we are navigating our travelers beyond the obvious and connecting them to the heartbeat of Cuba—the Cuban people.”

Cuba Expert and Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialist for Cuba Adam Vaught
The travel company, recognized for their firsthand destination knowledge and on-the-ground connections, recently hired Adam Vaught to launch their Cuba program. Adam is also the Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialist List for Cuba—an accolade, statistically speaking, that is more difficult to receive than getting into Harvard. His credentials include living and guiding in Cuba for nearly six months and visiting Cuba regularly over the past seven years. His relationships in Cuba run deep, typified by the experiences he creates for his clients, from discussing life as a Cuban performer with a renowned jazz musician to dialoguing with the University of Havana’s leading academics. Absolute Travel Cuba expert, Adam Vaught, says, “It is an easy place to provide a sugar-coated experience consisting of classic American cars, crumbling architecture, and mojitos, but that ignores the fascinating political, cultural, and socio-economic issues that Cuba and its people are battling as we speak. Given the time I’ve spent in country I’ve built strong relationships with Cubans from all walks of life (from taxi drivers to students) all of whom are eager to share their stories with my travelers and help them begin to understand Cuba’s complex history and uncertain future.”
