Cuba tourism collapses as US pressure campaign bites

Cuba's tourism industry has experienced a significant decline, with foreign visitor numbers dropping by 58% compared to last year. Cuban officials attribute this collapse to the US pressure campaign, which includes sanctions and an effective oil blockade. The drastic decrease in tourism is expected to have a substantial impact on Cuba's economy, which heavily relies on the industry. The US sanctions and oil blockade have severely limited Cuba's ability to attract visitors and generate revenue.
