Goodnews! Improving relations between Cuba and the United States have sparked a sharp rise in tourism to the beautiful Communist island.More than 2 million people have taken a trip there so far this year.Some 1.7 million people visited between January and May, which was a 15 percent increase on the same period last year.
The vast majority of visitors are people arriving from Canada although many of the passengers from there are actually Americans keen to visit Cuba before the major changes set to come.US citizens are allowed to enter Cuba on officially-sanctioned visits, but tourism remains officially off limits due to the economic embargo.American visitors, therefore, often enter via countries with connecting flights, including Panama, Mexico and, of course, Canada.
