Cuba has about as many hotel rooms as
Detroit and most are already full of Canadians and Europeans. Experts say
droves of Americans could drive up prices, unleash calls for more flights and
cruises than Cuba can handle and force the government to tighten visa restrictions
to regulate the stampede."There is great pent-up demand," said
Bob Whitley, president of the United States Tour Operators Association, which
opposes the travel ban. "It will have to be controlled by officials in
Cuba, but also by U.S. tour operators to make sure the infrastructure is up to
it."
