Ight then don’t visit Cuba?
Since communism and community bothers you so much lmao
Getting yoursel so worked up on a question that doesn’t even concern you.
Of course Cuba government isn’t perfect, but I don’t think your is either – trust.
Then you should know that it is more than just penalties for messing with tourists in Cuba.
Not being able to afford another island is no reason to support the Cuban government by visiting their hotels and attractions.
You misunderstand economics if you think that the government is just a black hole and that going to a resort and giving stuff like tips to workers doesn’t benefit the Cuban people. Just by going to a resort you are keeping the people who are employed there employed. You’re just being contrarian on the topic so there’s no point addressing anything you say though
Hey smarty pants- did you know that the regime selects who gets a job at these resorts based on their loyalty and connections to the party? Did you know that resorts are all owned or managed by the Cuban military via GAESA and Gaviota? You clearly don’t know how Cuba works.
I live in Cuba dumbass, LOL. I just graduated from college and I’m working in a resort, I was also raised in Guardalavaca which is full of em’.
I have no affiliation what so ever to anything political
Hardly anyone at the resorts has any affiliation to anything political.
YOU have no idea what you’re talking about and obviously don’t live in Cuba.
For further context I lived 3 years in Canada and I have a part-time online job for a US company that ships to PR.
Anything else you want clarification on?
Oh really, and you don’t know how your own country works? That resorts are owned by the Cuban military? You’re either willfully ignorant and part of the problem or perhaps just plain ignorant. No need to clarify, thanks.
Gaviota owns several resorts but I work in a Cubanacan resort that is co-owned by MGM. And even in the resort affiliated to military they don’t need you to “have connections” if they did they would be extremely terrible resorts, they do however need the people that work there to be affiliated to the military, which involves the going throw military training on top of regular studies and specialization. You have a very twisted view of things you don’t understand, that head of yours must be a terrible place
Cubanacan is a state-owned hospitality group that also owns other properties outside of Cuba. Even if a foreign company puts their name on a hotel, it is required that the Cuban government owns and has control of the property. This is a fact. Please stop misinforming people. You must be much more aligned with the government than what you are letting on. Shame on you.
I never said that it was not state owned, Cubanacan, last I checked is part of MINTUR which is like the organization that is in charge of most tourism, it co-owns and manages many hotels with brands such as Meliá and MGM, which you can realize when you see those hotels listed by both companies as one of their hotels on both of their websites.
You are the one that claimed that the hospitality industry in Cuba was tied to the military, and I quote:
“Oh really, and you don’t know how your own
country works? That resorts are owned by the
Cuban military?”
You followed that with:
“No need to clarify, thanks.”
I’m skipping all the rude parts as best I can as to not misrepresent your character, which I’m sure is outstanding.
And here’s your original point:
“did you know that the regime
selects who gets a job at these resorts based on
their loyalty and connections to the party? Did
you know that resorts are all owned or managed
by the Cuban military via GAESA and Gaviota?”
So no, the hotel industry is not military nor tied to the party, not to mention that even if it was military it would not mean it’s tied to the party , but whatever. And no, you can’t try to shift your argue me to without people noticing when you are proved wrong by someone who actually knows about what they’re talking about, any questions?
You’re speaking in circles and partly agreeing it seems, until you don’t. Hotels are state owned, most by the Cuban military. Some in partnership with foreign entities. Meaning the foreign company lends their brand and handles marketing outside of Cuba. The state, military or otherwise, is still in charge of hiring and operations. As you said, in military affiliated hotels, everyone that works there is associated with the military. These are the facts. I’m not sure what you are disagreeing with.
Oh you’re not sure, here I’ll quote what your points were:
“regime selects who gets a job at these resorts based on their loyalty and connections to the party?”
There is no selection of people based on loyalty nor affiliation to the party, people are selected based on their academic/profesional background
You also claimed:
“That resorts are owned by the Cuban military?”
Some are managed by a military affiliated company, you can’t generalize like that and you bring this point to imply that these hotels only hire people that are loyal and have connections to the party, which is not true.
“Even if a foreign
company puts their name on a hotel, it is
required that the Cuban government
owns and has control of the property.
This is a fact.”
Yes, it is, it’s also what a franchise is, McDonalds business model works the exact same way, are you against franchises, ooor….?
The fact is the Cuban state, military or otherwise own or manage all hotels via holding companies which are known to stash money in secretive offshore accounts in Panama and elsewhere. They are also known to launder money in this way- another revenue stream. These companies are wholly owned by the Cuban communist regime. The same regime that is responsible for oppressing the Cuban people and holding back progress on the island. This is very different from a franchise arrangement. Employment at many of these government owned or operated hotels is often given to loyal party members or those associated with the government/military. These are facts. You can downplay them to fit your narrative, or to show your loyal support to your masters. But the facts remain.
When you give facts you give evidence, these are not facts, you don’t understand a country you don’t live in, you try to shift your argument in order to never be proven wrong thereby wasting other people’s time.
You just spew whatever you hear people say and assume it’s a fact, but you can’t actually provide any evidence or references for the garbage you spit.
I advise you forget everything you think you know and you go verify all your sources and actually filter information that reaches your ears from now on.
Good bye
I understand why you are triggered. After all, you participate and benefit from this system, you’re a member of the elites. It’s in your interest to deny the truth. You are part of the problem.
Pfff, yeah, sure, I have no idea how I’m an elite but ok, tourism salaries are the same as everyone else, sooooo.
Also not triggered, just annoyed at hearing so much lunacy, never have I heard someone say such wrong things with such blind confidence and not a single source.
I’m going to block you, no offense, just don’t want to waste time
