What happened
Tourist arrivals to Cuba from Canada and Russia have ceased as of October 1, 2026. This decline occurs while the country faces a severe fuel and economic blockade from the US, which is reportedly causing food, water, and power supplies to run low. Tourism, which accounts for about 10 per cent of Cuba’s gross domestic product, has seen visitor numbers plummet since the US energy embargo.

Why it matters
The lack of international visitors follows the inability of major airlines to refuel in the country. The fuel crisis is visible in the lack of cars and buses, leading to the increased use of electric or pedal-powered tricycles in cities like Havana.
