POR: CAPITOL HILL CUBANS
Over the weekend, the Castro regime's Ministry of Tourism fretted that it lost approximately $1.1 billion in 2009 as a result of the U.S. ban on tourism travel.
If it were not for this sanction, the Castro regime estimates that 1.6 million U.S. tourists would have contributed to the island's (military-controlled) tourism monopoly.
However, the regime's estimate is actually conservative, for the average spending of U.S. tourists in the Caribbean ranges from $2,000-$3,000 per capita.
Therefore, the lost income for the Castro regime from 1.6 million U.S. tourists could have been as high as $4.8 billion.
Let us restate - the U.S. tourism ban may have cost the repressive Castro regime up to $4.8 billion in lost income last year.
And that -- ladies and gentlemen -- is a good thing.
Yet, inexplicably, some in Congress want to unconditionally change that.
