Cuba’s tourism revenues up 13%
According to a government report, some 2.35 million foreigners visited Cuba last year, 9.3 percent more than in 2007, according to a National Office of Statistics report posted online last week. The visitor surge helped the industry earn about $326 million more than it did in 2007.
That figure could double in 2009 if the United States lifts or significantly changes its embargo on the island nation.
