Cuba's Tourism Boom

Tourists seen outside a Cruise boat in docked in Havana's harbour. The improvment of relations between the USA and Cuba at the beginning of this year started a boom in tourism. Cruise liners traveling from the US began docking in Havana in May and the first commercial flight from the US to Cuba landed on November 28. But not everyone in Cuba sees the benefits from a growing number of foreign visitors. The food in Cuba is becoming scarce and expensive. On Monday, 3 December 2016, in Havana, Cuba.
