Instead they come to spend their vacations working in the countryside under a blazing sun, eating rice and beans and sharing a room without air-conditioning or toilet with seven others. They are so-called revolutionary tourists who arrive each year from about 50 countries for a "total immersion" in one of the world's few remaining socialist countries.

Some heartbroken fans broke down in tears as they were turned away clutching worthless pieces of paper they shelled out as much as $2,000 for. ``There was a number of people that were just crying,'' recalled Matt Whelan, the FleetCenter's director of ticket operations. ``There were people that didn't know what to do. They were stunned. They had come from all over the world.'' It took Whelan and...
