Sadly I’ve heard there’s a lot.of sex tourism to Cuba. Its because so many people in Cuba are so poor they send their wives and daughters to do that work. And they want to consort with foreign men, who bring hard currency. The workers paradise of Cuba has stores which don’t accept Cuban money but only deal in hard currency such as American dollars.
Yup. And one of Castro’s promises was to end all that prostitution that was bringing in American tourists.
It’s worse now, since the hotels are owned by the state, the girls have to bring the eurotrash home to mom and dad’s house to conduct their trade.
“The workers paradise of Cuba has stores which don’t accept Cuban money but only deal in hard currency such as American dollars.”
The staff of all the hotels, stores, etc. are employees of the Cuban government. All transactions are in foreign currency which must be turned in to the government. The staff is then paid in worthless cuban pesos.
Everyone these tourists meet will also be employees of the cuban state.
