THE COUNTRY STORY · FACTS WITH MEANING

Cuba: A recorded place footprint. Rising outbound travel.

Cuba has 4,982 place records in the Foursquare historical reference. Of these, 4,840 were outside the source’s closed and quality-review groups, placing it 140 of 248 on that count. The collection includes businesses and other places where people work, visit, and gather.

From a location to a useful lead

100% of the recorded places have valid coordinates. Almost every record can be placed on a map. 4,768 records also meet the source-status and category rules for exploration, placing this count 138 of 248.

Make the recorded places easier to find

4,908 records (98.51%) have a category field. 74 have no category field. Category labels can help organize the recorded activities and places. A website is recorded for 6.1% of the places. A blank website field does not establish whether a business has a website elsewhere.

LANGUAGE & BUSINESS UNDERSTANDING

Plan the conversation before the meeting

Agree on a language everyone in the meeting can use. It shapes how you explain an offer, understand questions, prepare written material, and keep a relationship moving.

Languages listed in the GeoNames country reference: Spanish, Papiamento.

  • Which language will we use for the meeting and follow-up?
  • Do we need an interpreter or translated written materials?
  • Who can help both sides check that the message is understood?

The language list comes from the GeoNames country reference. Ask the people taking part which language works best. Explore the country language details ↓

INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT

Follow the outbound travel record

The latest available observation for Cuba is 732,000 international departures in 2022. This is 200.0% more than the previous available observation in 2021. The collection contains 28 annual observations from 1995 to 2022. Departures count trips abroad to all destinations. One person can make several trips. This series does not identify U.S. destinations or the purpose of a trip.

The latest departure count is approximately 10.2 times the first available count in 1995.

Each source row is counted once in each distinct source category it carries. Multiple categories can make category counts or shares sum above the country total or 100%. Source rows are counted; no new unique-business census is implied. IDs define categories when usable IDs exist. Label-only rows retain exact source labels. Labels are paired to IDs only when array lengths agree; no parent-category rollup or NAICS/ISIC mapping is inferred.

Foursquare source categories are retained as supplied. The standalone hierarchy was not materialized in this source build. Business and place types can still be counted directly; no industry crosswalk or parent-category grouping is inferred.
