Cuban tourism boom?

This cartoon in the Globe and Mail this morning depicting the expected Tsunami of American and other tourists about to flood Cuba, reminds me of our visit to the island in 1996.

Apart from a few other Canadians, Europeans and some local cigar salesmen, the magnificent beaches at Varadero were virtually empty and untouched by large-scale commercialism and tourism. It is about to change, perhaps not for the better.
