Cienfuegos Posted July 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2019 The Washington Post describes the current situation in a recent article. Briefly, the regulations remain a sloppy mess, with many gray areas. Few bright lines in this area, even for experts. Detailed record keeping, day by day, is required. Awareness of which hotels and restaurants are on the no-go list, too. A full time schedule of activities which meet the requirements is essential. Volunteer activities like building a school, or teaching in a program may qualify. Going to a school, or viewing a presentation may not. In one particularly insensitive comment, a tour organizer indicated that a period of "re-education" would be required. There's no assurance that more stringent regulations may be imposed. (In the US, when a law is enacted or an executive order is issued, it references the issuer's authority under the US legal code. The relevant agency (Treasury, State, Commerce, etc) or authority then drafts regulations describing how the law will be applied, often to minute detail. The regulations are published, and eventually have the force of law. In many cases, affected interests like tour operators, Congress people, lobbyists, etc will offer their views on implementation.) https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2019/07/01/where-travel-us-cuba-currently-stands/?utm_term=.6e7e2194bedc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
