An excellent thought piece. I agree with DC. I think that tourism would have bolstered Cuba well, especially considering it's close proximity to the U.S. It would literally be vacationers "first stop" in the Caribbean. Even now, Cuba has some gorgeous resorts, albeit few of them, U.S. citizens are just not allowed to travel there for vacation. But once the U.S. drops that rule, I think you'll see alot of vacation dollars flood that marketplace, causing Cuba to rebuild and bolster it's tourism industry.
