Fact-finding missions
USA CUBA TRAVEL organizes fact-finding missions for companies, chambers of commerce and other business associations. In 1994, only 500 American business persons traveled to Cuba, whereas last year more than 2,800 reportedly entered the country. It is expected that this year between 3,500 and 5,000 will visit Cuba.
Foreign companies are gearing up to position their brand names before American companies arrive in large numbers in Cuba.

Free trade zones have been created in anticipation of an opening of trade between Cuba and the U.S.

has made significant changes during the last twelve months in relation
to the sale of foodstuffs, sale of agricultural produce, and sale of healthcare
products, as well as concerning advertising, travel, promotion, A category listing of travelers
who may visit Cuba legally is available on our restrictions
page; however a large number of Americans are traveling to Cuba without
license.
