Intrepid Travel has canceled its Cuba trips through April 30 as the country faces power grid problems and a fuel shortage.
The decision comes after the country suffered an islandwide blackout on Monday and a 5.8-magnitude earthquake on Tuesday. Cuba is also facing a nationwide energy shortage caused by the U.S. blockade of Venezuelan fuel exports to Cuba. That prompted Canadian airlines to halt flights.
"This decision was not made lightly," said Leigh Barnes, Intrepid's president of the Americas. "We know this has a real impact on the local workers and families whose livelihoods are tied to tourism, and our thoughts are with them. We remain committed to supporting our partners and returning as soon as conditions become stable."
