casa particulars are more of a concept than a business entity. It pretty much means "Bed&Breakfast" (without the breakfast). The government involvement is licensing & taxation, although there's a thriving black market as well.
If anything, this will help AirBnB adoption since the concept of renting out a spare room is already widely known.

And a fish we ate one night. It was so massive that they had to cook it in the oven of the local bakery. I really hope this change Cuba is experimenting now will be for the better.
