Summary
Cuba’s tourism is crashing—down 58% in just five months—with fewer than 360,000 visitors, largely due to new U.S. sanctions targeting the industry, a vital government revenue stream. Airlines like Air Canada have halted flights, and Spanish hotel chains are pulling back over U.S. pressure to cut ties with Gaesa, a Cuban military-linked conglomerate accused of corruption. Meanwhile, fuel shortages are crippling daily life: hospitals struggle to treat children with cancer, trash piles up, power outages spark protests, and even religious rituals suffer as nuns face just two hours of electricity a day.
