The increase in Travelucion sales are being
attributed to the notable shift in American policy towards Cuba and
a renewed interest in Europeans and Canadians traveling to the
country. American visits to Cuba have increased while American
tourism travel to Cuba awaits further easing. In response to the
increase in sales and to facilitate logistics in Havana, the Cuban
Travel Supplier in which Travelucion owns equity has moved to
larger premises and increased staffing levels (see News Release
Sept. 16, 2015).
On October 20th, MPH
Ventures announced, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, it
has acquired a 20% interest in Travelucion S.L., an online travel
digital media company, with an option for a period of eight months,
to acquire the remaining 80% interest subject to shareholder and
TSX Venture Exchange approval (see News Release Oct. 20, 2015).
Travelucion is a cash-flow positive online travel
digital media company that specializes in travel marketing,
electronic reservation and online booking solutions for
international visitors to Cuba. It owns one of the most significant
portfolios of Cuba focused web properties and domains that have
been promoting Cuba and offering online travel services to the
Caribbean nation since 1995. Recently, Travelucion's revenues have
been increasing in the wake of the notable shift in American policy
towards Cuba as diplomatic relations between the two nations
normalize and with travel restrictions on Americans visiting Cuba
expected to gradually relax. Online booking is one of the fastest
growing sectors in the travel industry and Travelucion is poised to
take advantage of this rapid growth.
Travelucion owns 100% of 432 web assets
popularizing Cuban Culture, Music, Celebrities, over sixty major
tourist destinations, Golf, Banking and Commerce which collectively
generate over 30 million page-views per year. Through legacy
agreements with Cuba's largest travel companies, Travelucion's
emblematic e-commerce brands like Havanatur.com, Cuba VIP and
GoCuba provide the company with access to a broader and more
diverse portfolio of national travel and tourism packages in Cuba
than any other travel provider. Travelucion is also uniquely
established to handle the travel requirements of qualified U.S.
travelers to Cuba. This allows permitted U.S. travelers, in
addition to non-U.S. travelers, the ability to indulge in high end
hotel and spa accommodations or create uniquely Cuban travel
packages with exclusive private home rentals, exotic/antique car
services and access to a multitude of guided or self-discovery
tours across Cuba. Travelucion has also developed a strong social
media platform of passionate Cuba social media followers across
Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram.
MPH Ventures and Travelucion will continue to
expand the existing travel and Cuba focused marketing initiatives
in numerous sectors with a specific spotlight on the emerging
U.S.-Cuba travel market.
