Americans still have an appetite for Cuba even as some travel and business avenues with the Communist-run island will disappear in the coming months under President Donald Trumps more restrictive economic policies toward Havana.
South Florida and other Cuba travel specialists canvassed this week said business remains strong as they await the final terms of new rules of engagement expected from Washington, possibly in September.
Its been a big benefit for us, said Ampa Manzella, travel manager at Cultural Explorations Cuba in Delray Beach. There is more business coming in.
With the window closing on individual people-to-people Cuba trips, travelers who might have opted to purchase airfares and hotel stays through the internet on their own are now reaching out to federally-licensed travel agencies like Cultural Explorations, Manzella said.
