Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't people been able to travel there if they had blood relations or descendants from Cuba? Maybe it started at the end of the Bush Era. I graduated college in 2010 and it was one of my old roommates talking about it.
La, US trade and travel restrictions regarding Cuba have followed something of a tortured path. They were allowed to lapse through the Carter administration, but were reinstated during the Reagan administration.
One can travel to Cuba. However, US law and regulations prohibit the spending of US currency in Cuba which effectively makes travel to Cuba by a American an arduous if not impossible sojourn without violating US law.
