I've talked with people of my grandparents generation that remember with fondness when Cuba was the "hot spot" to vacation at. It would be nice to have normalized relations, if nothing else... so I can vacation there. But yes, it needs a "revitalization" and a vibrant tourism industry could certainly help.
