"The Spanish hotel operator Iberostar said it would end its partnership to run 12 hotels for Gaviota, Cuba’s tourism company, which is part of the Business Administration Group, a military conglomerate known by its Spanish acronym, GAESA. Another Spanish firm, Meliá, said it would withdraw from its partnership running 15 Cuban hotels. Blue Diamond, a Canadian company that ran dozens of hotels in Cuba, also announced that it was pulling out Citing an announcement from the company, news reports said the Indonesian chain Archipelago International had also closed shop. The website for the company’s Aston Hotels in Cuba showed they were “no longer available for accommodation.”"

Quoted from NYT. That's the end of whatever tourism they had, I personally can't understand why anyone would go there other than to see images of Che Gevara and kiss Castro's ass. Whatever influx or Euros they had is gone now.

How is the Cuban community down your way taking this Fred? I would guess a lot of them have relatives their? Wars are started by stupid politicians revolutions begin with hungry people.

Karen Bass went there on a few occasions for communist training (not kidding). I guess there’s a tourism market for that.

Cuba will be a destination resort once Trumps done. Same deal with the Gaza strip. Make money not war is a very solid way of thinking.

I don't go out much, I don't watch Spanish news and my area of operations is outside the Cuban area. And the Cubans I mingle with are just like me.

I spoke to a lawyer today whom I haven't seen in 27 years, a Harvard graduate and he asked me, he still has some family left in the island. I told him I really don't care as long as my tax money is not used to rebuild what the commies destroyed, but I find very interesting what Trump has done, he chased all international businesses out.

So why can't Europe save Cuba with its vast "superior ideology" and "wealth"? I mean after all, it has been preached to me my whole life that the US is a violent backward not real country stolen from natives in an imminent state of collapse. OH wait its only because of the Zionist petro-dollar military industrial complex free mason conspiracy--yea that's it. Step up Europe you have no embargo. Maybe Germany can send oil it doesn't have to Cuba.
