thread_title: Another note

message: This article seems to have been written in 1999, which is weird, because Wikipedia has only been around since 2001. I'm not sure what the right course of action isAlex Klotz 00:29, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Out of date 

message: Some people have been working on documenting issues related to South African apartheid.  One major theme that developed is tourism apartheid.  It has an article section here: Tourism apartheid in Cuba.  Thoughts are invited.  (Most people working on the apartheid related material are not experts in Cuba-related topics.)  --Ben Houston 00:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This article needs a lot of work (just can't get the staff) - but I would recommend that Tourism apartheid in Cuba be removed to its own article. And linked with summary from both here and the Apartheid_outside_of_South_Africa page.--Zleitzen 00:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Here is the correspondance that the conversation above refers to. It may be worth re-examining these comments to see if I've misunderstood them and have "revised history". Perhaps they may help clarify things somewhat.--Zleitzen 13:48, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would be somewhat disproportionate to have a Tourism in Cuba article that is 4/5th about "Tourism apartheid". It is quite long for an entry in this article however so it would be logical to spin it off. User:HOTR 04:30, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll take a look at the Tourism page over the next week or so, and try to pad it out with more info. Then it may be an idea to merge the Cuban apartheid and tourism pages together, when there is more equal weight given to other areas. I hope I've made sense?-- User:Zleitzen

Hi.  I looked over the article Tourism in Cuba and over this one, and Tourism in Cuba is a one-sentence-long stub.  This article, meanwhile, has a title that it appears has generated some complaints about violating NPOV.  I was wondering if yall might consider merging this article into the Tourism in Cuba article so as to add content to what ought to be a fully-developed article and to remove the article name issue here.  Thanks.  The Literate Engineer 16:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I would agree with you about the need to merge, however the tourism in Cuba article is still a stub and these allegations would dominate it somewhat, to its detriment. What I'll do, perhaps, is write that Tourism article in full over the next few days and then we can think about merging. How does that sound?--Zleitzen 20:25, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That sounds awesome, Zleitzen.  The Literate Engineer 20:44, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, that is what is needed.  All that was lacking was someone to volunteer to improve the main tourism article.  Well done Z. -- 80.225.170.83 01:51, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

* I made a merged version in my sandbox. Basically, it's "tourist apartheid" with the first two paragraphs of "Impact on Cuban..." instead of the intro.--victor falk 12:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

message: *Support This spin-off article does not mention anything not covered in this article's section. It is actually smaller than that section (545 vs 854 words), which should be a strong hint...--victor falk 09:22, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This Brazilian site: [GA] has an article, in Portuguese, about this subject. Reading the article, I realized that tourism in Cuba isn't a good thing.Agre22 (talk) 16:05, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Brazilian site about tourism in Cuba

message: The article doesnt address this at all, but the tourism industry in Cuba is run by an umbrella company called GAESA (Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A.) which itself is run by the Cuban military. Everything from hotels to restaurants to shopping centers are all run by the military or to quote an article from Reuters "That means when you enter a shop in Cuba to purchase a bottle of water, soda or beer, you probably are patronizing a military establishment."
