Meliá, Iberostar and Barceló complete their withdrawal from Cuba due to new US sanctions

Three major Spanish hotel chains—Meliá, Iberostar, and Barceló—have completed their exit from Cuba due to new U.S. sanctions. The companies announced their decision to withdraw operations from the country, citing the restrictive measures imposed by the United States. These sanctions limit financial transactions and restrict access to Cuban assets, making it increasingly difficult for foreign businesses to operate there. The move marks a significant shift in the tourism sector, which has been a key part of Cuba’s economy. The departure of these international chains could have long-term implications for Cuba’s ability to attract foreign investment and sustain its hospitality industry.
