AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Power Crisis Hits Again: Cuba’s national grid collapsed late Sunday, triggering another nationwide blackout—the first of August after three islandwide outages in July—leaving millions without electricity and worsening daily life for locals and travelers alike. Tourism Pressure: With fuel imports constrained and infrastructure strained, Cuba’s tourism sector is described as near “total paralysis,” while lawmakers have approved some private investment in tourism. Visa Rules for Travelers: The U.S. made its visa bond program permanent, with bonds up to $20,000 for certain B1/B2 applicants from 50 countries including Cuba; consular officers can require the refundable deposit before visa issuance. Canada Travel Warning: Canada updated its “avoid non-essential travel” advisory for Cuba, citing increased risk of opportunistic crime and noting that blackouts and limited emergency response can affect safety. Cuba’s Economic Overhaul: President Díaz-Canel says reforms won’t mean massive privatisation, as Cuba moves to ease restrictions and expand fuel import and wholesale distribution. Independent Media Push: Cuban journalist Boris González Arenas argues independent outlets are laying groundwork for a democratic press, but legalization is still missing.
