“Los turistas” came, saw and don’t want to come back!

Back in 2015, many people were eager to see Cuba.   The Castro regime played on that curiosity and ran all type of advertisements calling on people to see it for themselves.        It was the ultimate curiosity adventure.
Well, it looks like US tourists did not like what they saw.   Or, they don’t want to see it again. 
This is the latest from US tourism in Cuba, according to a story that I saw this morning:      
During the first three months of this year, 95,520 Americans came to Cuba – a 40 percent drop from the same period last year, according to Cuban government statistics. 
The decrease in Americans seeking to discover one of tourism’s last forbidden fruits is hurting this island’s access to hard cash, and setting back the effort to reestablish ties between U.S. citizens and communist Cuba.
Not good, as they say.
Let me share what I’ve heard about going to Cuba:
1) A couple that recently went to Cuba complained that there are not enough hotel rooms, the air conditioner does not always work and getting around is a pain in the you know what.
2) I heard that it’s not pleasant to see the Cuba behind the curtain or the Cubans living in broken homes or lacking everything.    
And I’m sure you’ve heard your own stories.
As expected, the Castro regime apologists are blaming it on President Trump.   In reality, the problem is that Cuba is no tourism destination, unless you are going there for ideological reasons.
Who knows that Castro’s Cuba stinks?   The tourists who came, saw the awful truth and have no plans to come back.
