Cuba’s government announces visitor numbers will only reach slightly more than 4 million this year, dealing a blow to a faltering economy heavily dependent on income from the sector.
People take pictures of the fireworks at the Capitol during a gala as part of the celebration of the 500 years of the city in Havana, Cuba, Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019. Havana celebrates its 500th anniversary, a milestone event that has sparked reflection in the country, as it faces increasingly tense relations with the U.S. and serious economic challenges.
The government had hoped to surpass the 5 million mark in 2019, but U.S. sanctions and tightened travel restrictions have severely cut into American visitor numbers to the island. A U.S. ban on all U.S. carrier flights to cities other than Havana went into effect this week.
