For years, the conventional wisdom was that an eventual end to the U.S. embargo against Cuba would open the floodgates for millions of curious Americans dying to visit the once-forbidden island — while the rest of the Caribbean would, at least initially, suffer a sharp downturn in U.S. tourist arrivals.
The Cuban government’s recent economic reforms and the growth and development opportunities they represent for the island's future will be the topic of a conference to be hosted by the Pontifical Catholic University in Ponce, entitled “Cuba Today and Tomorrow: Economic Conditions and Trends.”
Air travel between the United States and Cuba is about to get a bit more crowded with the announcement Thursday by Cuba Travel Services Inc. that it has received landing permission by the government of the island-nation to begin flights from San Juan, Ft. Lauderdale and Houston.
