Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Cuban tourism downturn: New hotels being built despite visitor numbers” – below is their description.
Tourism has long been one of the drivers of Cuba’s economy.
But the fallout from a steep drop in visitor numbers is forcing a growing number of people to leave the country.
Despite the downturn, the state-run tourism body is building more hotels — while the homes of many ordinary people collapse.
Al Jazeera’s Latin America Editor Lucia Newman reports from Havana, Cuba.
