I've met some English people who also holidayed in Cuba, and they also reported no travel restrictions. I have met a couple of other Americans who have ventured to Cuba, they have quite adventurous natures though, I last saw them after they had returned from Columbia, Peru and Bolovia. Only other Americans I know who have been to Cuba went, and I quote, "for the whores".
Oh, and it might or might not surprise you, but tourism is Cuba's biggest industry these days, it has surpassed even sugar. Cuba is also renowned as one of the safest tourist destinations in the world. |
Well it is news to me taht there are no restictions on travel. I was under the impression there was, maybe it was just a long time ago. Anywho from what I understand where the tourist usually stay it is extremly nice but out of that area, so I guess once you leave it goes down hill fairly quick. However "Communist" countries have a different way to gaging poverty. I don't know how many if any die of hunger each year, or don't have what they need to live. I do know that he violates human rights from time to time(I don't know how often) and keeps an iron fist on communication which is why I can't stand dictators.
As for the tourism I did know that. It is one of either one, two, or three countries that take Canadian money at par which is great. That is where I am probably going to send my parnets for thier 25th year anniversy just because it is so cheap.
