Airbnb ones more has confirm that can belong to anywhere in the whole world. Cuba has opened their home to be a host for tourist and offer to them an unforgettable vacations in local's home. As we may know Cuba is a island Country in the caribbean, with its capital of La Havana, where most of the tourist take place. the Island has a internet restrictions so acces is limited but to find accommodation is not a big issue as there are plenty of options. Also at tho stage master card and american express are starting to launch their services in the Island and this will endeavour different businesses and facilitate tourism. This company is growing on a daily basis since people are choosing to have a better experience in their travels where they can enjoy their vacations knowing the culture of the destination. I strongly agree with this project and would be keen to try Airbnb in my next adventures.
