Americans want to travel to Cuba, and Cuba would welcome tourists to help their economy, so it sounds like a win, win situation. There will still be many restrictions on traveling to Cuba.

This deal sounds like an early Christmas present for the Cuban people, and there is much celebrating going on in Havana and in Little Havana in Miami.
