Hotels empty, tourists nowhere: "Someone passes by maybe once an hour"

The article discusses the decline of tourism in Cuba due to economic sanctions imposed by the United States under Donald Trump's administration. Once a popular tourist destination known for its historic colonial architecture and beaches, Cuba has seen a significant drop in visitors, with a 58% decrease in tourists during the first five months of the year compared to the same period last year. The economic crisis has been exacerbated by the US-led oil blockade, which disrupted essential fuel supplies for airlines and contributed to the departure of international hotel chains. The article highlights the impact on local businesses and workers, noting that many potential tourists have been deterred by the unstable economy. Former US President Trump criticized Cuba's lack of natural resources compared to Venezuela's oil reserves and suggested continued pressure through economic measures, including potential military intervention.

Bias read (Center): While the article presents information about US sanctions against Cuba and their economic effects, it does not overtly favor one side over another.
