The Cuban economy serves as a centralized model, where departments share resources and determine everything, prices of goods until their salaries. The fact that a taxi driver may turns out much more than a doctor is a testament to how much weight has given the Cuban Government tourism.

For years, the Government is assessing the tourism as a key mechanism for the introduction of income and for spreading the idea that Cuba is developed. The profit is big from high prices for anything related to the tourism industry.
