Good lord, Pumpkins! Yesterday’s news of the U.S. lifting the ban on travel to Cuba is almost worse than the Bay of Pigs missile crisis. We’ll soon be facing a bay of yanks packing up their bikinis and taking over our cozy Cuban beds. Eating our Cuban porridge. Sitting on our Cuban lounge chairs.
Sunwing says it’s concerned for us, dahrlings. More like they’ve already implemented cash flow operation ‘Cuba $i !’. I imagine their U.S. based Vacation Express is loaded up and ready to flip the switch. I’m told they hung the U.S. flag outside each of their 11 Cuban Blue Diamond Resorts last night. “Welcome Back!”
I can hear the conversation at Gaviota this morning: “Canadians? We don’t need no stinking Canadians!”
Melia Cuba’s ad agency is probably rerouting funds to U.S. publications as we speak.
Cuba Cruise’s Dugald Wells can’t control his enthusiasm urging Canadians to "visit the iconic island before it changes". Is that a veiled swarning threat? “…we absolutely foresee an increase in bookings from international travellers." You bet your sweet painted petunias you’ll see an increase from U.S. travellers.
It will take cool heads to avert a pricing disaster, dahrlings. Where is Kennedy when we need him?
