The Bellevue Chamber of Commerce, through a partnership with Central Holidays, is offering a unique opportunity for Eastside business leaders and residents to travel to Cuba May 14-22.

The nine-day, eight-night trip will connect travelers with people and places in Cuba, such as The King Ranch, the Bay of Pigs Museum, the Cuban Ballet, Hemingway’s Farm and more, giving participants an inside look into a country that has been primarily cut off from the United States for more than 50 years. The U.S. State Department has recently began licensing certain agencies to provide people-to-people tours for American citizens.

An information session about the trip will be held noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 10, at the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce, and is free and open to the public. The chamber office is at 330 112th Ave. N.E., Suite 100. To RSVP and make trip reservations, call 425-454-2464 or email staffteam@bellevuechamber.org.
