Travel to Cuba will help U.S., too and more letters to the editors

Travel to Cuba will help U.S., too

In response to Michael Weissenstein’s article titled “Historic commercial flight from U.S. to Cuba set to take off”:

Reading that brightens my day to know that many Cuban-Americans will have the opportunity to visit the island that seemed impossible to visit.

A major point that I agree with in the article is that the Cuban economy can be built off tourism. Many Americans are curious and ready to explore the island.

I find it very interesting and respectful that the crew of the JetBlue aircraft was made of Cuban-Americans. The fact that the last airplane that flew into Cuba was in October 1962 and the Cuban Missile Crisis occurred that month make this moment very special and dear to many Cuban-Americans.
