Cuba's Tourism Boom

A tourist leaves a message outside Bodeguita del Medio, a typical restaurant-bar of Havana, famous tourist destination because of the personalities which have patronized it: Salvador Allende, Pablo Neruda, Josignacio and many others. La Bodeguita lays claim to being the birthplace of the Mojito cocktail, prepared in the bar since its opening in 1942. 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.
