Identifier	Thesis 1874
Author	Melián, Juan A.
Title	Tourism in Cuba During the Twentieth Century: Past Strategies, Current Trends, and Future Projections
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2006
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Cuba is a unique country that is currently facing important challenges. The political system that was sparked by the 1959 Revolution may be coming to an end. Although it is extremely difficult to predict what the future might bring to the country, it will probably be fundamentally different from the current political situation. Given the changing economic and social milieu, I contend that the tourism sector is and will be an essential part of the Cuban economy. However, this sector's future depends on the political outcome of the changes that will take place on the island after President Castro is no longer in power. Whatever the changes, an analysis of the historical trends of the tourism industry demonstrates that this sector almost certainly will continue to play an essential role in the country's economy. The Cuban government has implemented policies that show the country's commitment to the tourism industry is not merely a temporary strategy to overcome the serious difficulties encountered after the cut-off of foreign aid following the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. Although the tourism industry has indeed helped to alleviate difficulties stemming from that time period, the Cuban population at large has not benefited from tourism's profits. In order to create more equitable distribution of funds and alleviate poverty, the Cuban government must address some structural deficiencies in its tourism industry and forge linkages with other sectors of the economy. Based on the current international context and the apparent strength of the Cuban leadership, Cuba and its tourism industry will not see dramatic change in the short term. However, in the longer term, the regime will embark on reforms that will lead to essential changes in the political structure of the country, the economy as a whole, and the tourism industry specifically. I conclude that the effects on the tourism sector will be dramatic, with major increases in international visitors and foreign investment.
