Let me point this out. Europeans have been in Cuba for three or four decades. There’s probably twenty different resorts which attract several thousand people a week to fly in and stay a week or two. But before you start to get all frisky over this....consider this.
What the Europeans come back and chat about are the grand resorts on the beach with barb-wire fences around them. The beaches are nice where the resorts are....but don’t go anywhere else expecting clean or great beaches.
The city streets are old and crappy. The structures are mostly places built prior to 1960. Cubans for the most part are practically broke....so they don’t have cash for nothing. Some major league US team to show up for a baseball game? Forget about charging $20 a ticket....you’d have limit it to a maximum of a dollar.
The only business angle I see expanding is health care. Once you figure out that a $25,000 operation can be done in Havana for $5,000.....you will do all your operations down there. Forget about health-insurance.
So, don’t get excited....there’s nothing much worth money there.
I sense and this is just my guess, I think Mr. Obama is trying to open up Cuba to the world like a certain Mr. Nixon opened up China to the world over 40 years ago. Just my guess.
