4. I toured the island of Cuba in 2018. At that time, Obama had started opening some doors to Cuba. We

were told Americans were not allowed to stay in the beach resorts, because Americans could not be there strictly as a tourist on vacation. I went on a "people-to-people" tour. (Trump didn't close down Cuba until June 2019). When I was there, American cruises were still going into Havana.

This year, it's back to certain restrictions.

American citizens are not currently allowed to stay in Cuba’s government-run hotels or use most state-owned enterprises. Instead, it’s best to opt for private accommodation such as apartments, B&Bs and homestays (known in Cuba as casas particulares). Airbnb has lots of listings of accommodations that are open to US citizens.

US law states that US citizens can only travel to Cuba on a ‘general license’ based on one of 12 different approved categories, which include family visits, educational and religious activities, public performances and exhibitions, and the vague sounding 'support for the Cuban people.' Licenses are self-qualifying (there’s no long-winded paperwork), but you’ll be asked to state your category of choice in a signed travel affidavit when booking travel to Cuba. More details are available online from the US Treasury.
