ARLINGTON CHAMBER OFFERS 5-DAY TRIP TO CUBA

FOR MEMBERS AND THE COMMUNITY

November 10-14, 2016

Arlington, VA - The Arlington Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce a new partnership with Chamber Explorations to send travelers on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to explore Cuba, a country where time has stood still. From November 10-14, participants can travel to Cuba with business colleagues, family, and community members. Travelers have the option of beginning their trip from Miami, or flying locally from Washington Dulles International Airport at an additional cost.

"We are thrilled to expand our Chamber travel program with the addition of the Cuba Getaway," said President & CEO Kate Bates. "We look forward to continuing to provide our members and the community unique opportunities like this trip to Cuba."

In a key time for Cuban-United States relationship building, current travel to Cuba is limited to "people-to-people" trips such as this one. With an itinerary reflecting a leisure trip, Cuba Getaway travelers will visit sights such as Ernest Hemingway's farm, the Museum of the Revolution, and a Havana cigar factory. Travelers will also have the opportunity to meet with the local Old Style Car Club owners and learn why Havana's streets are filled with vintage American automobiles and understand what it takes to keep them on the road.

The trip package includes:

Flights to and from Cuba
First class hotel accommodations
Bilingual Cuban Tour Guide
Itinerary Interactions & Admissions
Eight meals - three breakfasts, three lunches, three dinners
Cuban medical insurance
Deluxe Air Conditioned Motorcoach
And more!

Full details can be found in the trip itinerary on the Arlington Chamber Travel page.

The Cuba Getaway early bird cost (ending May 31, 2016) is $2,695 for Chamber members, their families, and guests. Non-member early bird registration is $2,895. After May 31, registration increases to $2,795 for Chamber members and $2,995 for non-members. To register, visit the Chamber website and download the Cuba Getaway 2016 Registration Form (also found here). Final registration deadline is August 27, 2016.

For more information about the trip, contact the Chamber office by calling 703-525-2400 or emailing [email protected]. Trip itinerary is available through the Chamber.

Please note: Rates are based on double occupancy. There is a $500 fee for travelers who choose to have a single room.
