Cuba Tourism Ticks UP!!!!

 

    For over six decades the drastic U. S. economic Blockade of Cuba has drastically devastated the Cuban economy. Tourism, especially during its current winter season, is particularly important to the Caribbean's largest island nation. In this first week of November-2022 Cuba is optimistic that the winter tourism is ticking up sharply, such as indicated by more-than-expected new flights from prime Canadian airlines. Canadian tourists are vital and they have helped make Cuban beaches such as Varadero and Cayo Largo, even with the Blockade, both rated "Best Beach In The World" by international tourist polls.

      Even has Cuba emerged from the Pandemic, the tightened U. S. Blockade as well as the deadly Hurricane Ian, deadly explosions that destroyed Havana's most famed tourist hotel and the island's main power plant in Matanzas have deeply added to the despair of the Cuban people. Today -- on November 4th-2022 -- national television newscasts, as shown above, were still reporting on the major reconstruction that is being done and must continue to be done.

     Also today nationwide newscasts in Cuba report on the "illegal, immoral" U. S. Blockade that is making it "very hard for us to make the necessary repairs and reconstructions that the Cuban people need. And that, of course, remains the purpose of the Blockade that started long ago, in 1962."

    But also today -- November 4th-2022 -- nationwide Cuban newscasts, of course, are elated that Lulu da Silva has again been elected in Brazil, which is Latin America's largest and richest nation. Lulu, in his two previous terms as President of Brazil before political foes put him in a Brazilian prison for a sizeable stretch, had been a dear friend of Fidel Castro and Cuba.

     In fact, in this month of November in 2022 Cuba believes that Brazil is not the only Latin American nation moving away from the anti-Cuban grip influenced by the wealth and power of the United States. Now recent developments appear to show that nations such as Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Honduras, Argentina, and even Colombia may be shifting to more pro-Cuban positions to join Cuba's traditional allies like Venezuela and Nicaragua.

     Of course, in this first week of November-2022 the nations of the world voted overwhelmingly again in the United Nations to demand that the United States end its blockade of Cuba. With 187 nations voting this week, only the United States and Israel voted to maintain the Embargo/Blockade that started in 1962. The two abstentions that didn't vote at all were Brazil and Ukraine. It is assumed that Lulu's Brazil next year will loudly vote with the majority to end the Embargo/Blockade.

And as the nations of the world said again this week:

"Let Cuba Live!"

This is a street in Havana.
