Cuba is after the tourist trade. “Tourists have come: two million visitors are expected in Havana this year. However, the special city they have come to see is in danger of vanishing – not simply because of age, humidity, termites and general lack of maintenance. The word in Havana is that when the president, Fidel Castro, dies and the US finally lifts its longstanding economic embargo, Havana will be transformed, and not necessarily for the better.”
