CUBA / USA / CANADA : Tourism Setting New Record; Rooms Grow Scarce.

     This winter...the uncertainties of an 'Arab Spring' and Greek troubles/strikes are sending the ever-cautious Germans...and sun seeking French...to holiday...away from North Africa...to a more secure Cuba.
    It seems that totalitarianism does have an upside...less crime against tourists.
    Plus...Obama's loosened restrictions allow more Cuban-Americans to visit the isla.
    It all adds up to possibly Cuba's best tourism season ever...with tight accommodations...all across the island.
    In 2011...Cuba saw a record 2.7 mn visitors.
    It also makes things tougher for Canadians...Cuban regulars for decades.
