Cuba gets tough on tourism
HAVANA, Cuba (CNN) -- In a move intended to centralize and strengthen Communist Party control of Cuban society, the island's government has introduced regulations barring Cubans who work in the tourist industry "from having personal contact with foreigners."

Resolution 10, issued by the Tourism Ministry, forbids employees -- from waiters to high-level executives -- from accepting tips, gifts and invitations from foreigners and demands that Cubans' contact with non-Cubans be restricted "to that which is absolutely necessary."

The new law also requires a witness to be present during business negotiations with foreigners.

The segregation rules go far beyond norms applied in most of the rest of the world. For example, any non-professional contact with a foreigner, not just by an employee but also by any member of his or her family, must be reported to a superior within 72 hours.

Das zeigt doch sehr deutlich, welches Geistes Kind die Machthaber in Kuba sind, und in wie weit sie Angst vor ihrem eigenen Volk haben.
(Und ich denke, das wird die Entwicklung des Tourismus in Kuba vermutlich nicht foerdern, und damit letztendlich dem Land weiteren Schaden zufuegen. Aber Castro und Konsorten werden die Schuld dann ja wieder mal den USA in die Schuhe schieben.....)
