A Billion Reasons to End the Cuba Embargo

More on the Cold War over ending the Cold War with Cuba.

This from the Associated Press. Cuban officials held a videoconference last week with American tour operators, touting the benefits that could come to U.S. tour companies if the the U.S. would drop the trade embargo.

Their take: U.S. tourism companies are missing out on $1.1 billion a year in airline sales, travel agent fees and other services.

Not that Cuba has exactly been tourist-free without Americans. More than 2 million foreign tourists come to Cuba every year, the AP reports, mostly from Canada, Britain, Italy, Spain and France.
