Tuesday, the Obama Administration announced that Americans can now take "people-to-people" trips to Cuba on their own instead of on expensive group tours. The Obama administration loosened rules on travel to Cuba and the Cuban government's use of the dollar, removing obstacles to closer ties between the two countries, just five days before President Barack Obama makes a historic trip to Havana. This means that any American is able to legally go to Cuba as long as they fill out a form asserting that their trip was for educational purposes instead of tourism. This is expected to help fill demand for commercial flights that U.S. airlines hope to launch in coming months.
