Tourism won’t democratize castro’s Cuba

Great editorial (in English) at Diario las Americas about tourism to Cuba.

For many years now, at least two decades, the affluence of tourists from Europe, Canada and Latin America to Cuba, has done nothing in terms of fostering democracy or anything like it. That is not the purpose of their trip, and they are not specifically prepared for this mission, even though all or almost all of them might support the democracies in their own countries. It should be taken into account that there are many people from the United States, even many Cubans who live here, who already go to Cuba through a third country whenever they want to.
