AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Tourism Shock: Spain’s Meliá says it will stop managing 15 of its 34 Cuba hotels after new U.S. sanctions tied to GAESA, adding to a fast-moving exodus by other foreign operators. Payments Hit: Cuba’s central bank says Visa and Mastercard transactions will be suspended from June 6 after a foreign processor pulled back under U.S. pressure—another blow to travel spending and bookings. Sanctions Pressure: Multiple reports link the hotel pullbacks and card shutdowns to Trump’s May 1 sanctions expansion targeting GAESA and foreign firms doing business with it. Governance Talk: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers he believes “technocrats” inside Cuba could be part of negotiations, but he wouldn’t name a transition leader. Migration Work Rights: Costa Rica reactivates a legal work-and-stay category for thousands of Cubans (and others) starting Sept. 1, 2026, easing long asylum limbo. Travel Disruption (Context): A train derailment near Las Tunas left 900 passengers evacuated by bus with no reported injuries.
