Cuba's Tourism Industry Faces Collapse Amid US Sanctions and Empty Hotels

Cuba's tourism sector is in a severe downturn, with a staggering 58% drop in tourist arrivals in early 2026 compared to the previous year, totaling only 360,000 visitors. This decline is largely attributed to stringent US sanctions imposed during the Trump administration, which have crippled the economy and led to the abandonment of international hotel chains. The Cuban government is now exploring options for Cubans, both on the island and abroad, to manage the vacant hotels as part of economic reforms. However, experts doubt the feasibility of this plan, highlighting the overinvestment in tourism at the expense of other critical sectors. The situation has prompted initiatives to provide food aid to struggling locals, reflecting the dire humanitarian crisis unfolding in the country.
