Tourists at risk because of government policy

Tourists at risk because of government policy
CUBANET

HAVANA, Cuba, August 10 (Moisés Leonardo Rodríguez / www.cubanet.org) –
The Interior Ministry has ordered independent tourist guides in the
municipality of Mariel to stop offering their services to foreigners who
pass through on their way to Pinar del Río.

No explanation was given to the tourist guides, who feel that tourists
will be put at risk as there are many delinquents in the area.

Many of the tourists arrive tired at dusk without having made
arrangements for lodgings, which the guides can provide.

Some of the tourists are said to be cyclists.
