Cuba used to be the go-to vacation spot for sun and fun before the Communists claimed tourism was capitalist exploitation of the locals. I had to read some of their ‘literature’ in Spanish classes - stories about fat American turistas coming to Havana and expecting to be waited on by the impoverished
peons.
Yep. See my post above. Cuba could become fabulously wealthy if they cleaned up, constructed casinos, and embraced real, free tourism.
The beaches there have been said to be some of the most beautiful in the world, and Cubans were reputed to have been some of the smartest and hardest working people before the Communists took over.
