Compliance with U.S. Law: U.S. law prohibits U.S. travelers from
traveling to Cuba for tourism. U.S. travelers can only go to Cuba for
one of 12 authorized reasons, including family visits and
people-to-people educational activities. The 12 categories are listed in
the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (CACR) at Section 515.560
(a)(1)-(12) and described in more details in those identified sections
of the CACR. It is the U.S. traveler's sole responsibly to understand
and comply with existing restrictions under U.S. law. Each U.S. traveler
is required under U.S. law to retain records of their travel to Cuba for
five years.

Cuba Travel Certification: Each U.S. traveler must complete a written
certification, identifying the travel category that authorizes his or
her travel to Cuba in order to allow Vacation Express to book travel.
Vacation Express must obtain this certification as required under
Section 515.572(b) of the CACR. Should you have any questions about the
requirements of U.S. law relating to your travel to Cuba, please consult
an attorney.
