I kinda thought tourism would have been in the dumps since the US bans you from the visa waiver program just for visiting Cuba as of Jan 12, 2021 (a last breath by Trump after losing the election but not office).
That doesn’t impact Canadians, but Canadians aren’t going to Cuba as often as they used to.
There are still some flights to/from Russia, but it has to take the long route.
Maybe they get enough to make up for all that from South America.

- Arnt 2y agoWhat does this mean? AFAICT, it's either a minor detail, hardly worth mentioning, or it implies that there have been notable changes since then. If you did intend to imply that, could you elaborate?
- ein0p 2y agoCanada is probably also in large part “the US” - there are no direct flights there from the US. Why we keep up this idiotic embargo is anyone’s guess.
- gnabgib 2y agoLots of Canada flies directly to Cuba (Halifax, Montreal, Toronto[0]). There are (or were?) some historical "can't use US airspace" rules about flights travelling there (so western Canada has to connect).

- justinko 2y agoThere’s only one direct flight and that’s from Miami with American Airlines. You have a lot of research to do if you think the problem is the embargo.
