Cuba’s Tourism Industry Is Completely Unraveling

Wall Street Journal: “Cuban statistics show around 298,000 international visitors in the first quarter, down 48% from the depressed levels in the same period last year. In March, traditionally high-season, fewer than 36,000 visitors arrived from abroad.”

“Back in 2017 and 2018, when tourism was thriving, nearly 400,000 international tourists visited Cuba on average a month. In those better times, tourism accounted for about 8% of Cuba’s roughly $30 billion economy, employed hundreds of thousands and was a key source of foreign currency.”
