Cuba is going to be in trouble!
Everyone had been lulled into a false sense of security that Cuba slowly became a freer and holiday like country. However it would appear that recently the Cuban police and government have made a massive mistake.
Monday proved to be a particularly bad day when the Government beat up a Blogger for speaking to the world about Cuba across the Internet, freedom of Speech is practically non existent here! Yoani, a Blogger in Cuba who is known for putting her views on her country across the Internet was approached by plain clothes policeman and beaten the other day. After learning there was a demonstration about to happen, she and two other friends headed to this and on their way were stopped and beaten by undercover police officers.
Tourism has started to boom in Cuba, and only recently, this has started to take off and improve. However now they have to try and patch up this mess they have caused because they have started to rely on Tourism and the money it brings in quite heavily.
Cuba is famous for keeping freedom of speech on a tight leash and preventing those that want to be outspoken by detaining them. Attacking an Internet Blogger that is quite established in the Internet world, is probably one of the worst possible ideas, surely speaking to her about the issue is better off, this won’t look good for Cuba at all. Not to mention that she can spread her message to the entire world after it has happened.
Vacations have been tripped by the current economic climate in the past couple of years, but now they are returning on the rise, Cuba needs to get these holidays or lose profits and investment, so what do you say would you like to go on a Cuba holiday, or maybe Maldives holidays, or some other Caribbean holidays sound like a more sensible idea this year. Recently I embarked on Sri Lanka holidays, and thats not really a quite place, but I would prefer it to Cuba at the moment.
