The interviews, many for the first time with a foreign journalist, are valuable from a historical perspective and as a story of development. It offers an open window on Cuba into a crucial segment of the countrys economy, erroneously perceived by some as shuttered to the outside world. This work is structured by the contextual history of Obamas opening with Cuba, the bleak days of Trump, the Havana Syndrome, the onset of the pandemic, the election of Biden, and his unmet promises, through to economic recovery of the island under the post-pandemic normal. It highlights the work of the ones who lead and invest, create opportunities for themselves and others, initiate change, trigger sustainable development, build infrastructure, improve lives, strengthen the economy, lessen suffering, and create hope. They stimulate forward progress. These are the visionaries with plans seeking to realize the full potential of Cuba, driving a new era of sustainable development and growth. By filling those gaps, this work is an important supplement for any future analysis seeking to examine the countrys potential. The book is divided into parts: government, economy, foreign investment, industrial zones, banking, law, and business, followed by interviews with top executives from Cubas primary sectors. This open window on Cuba is a compelling fresh take that shows that Cuba is open for serious business. Since 1985, T.K. Hernndez has spent extended periods in Cuba as a journalist, a tourist, and with family. She has a Bachelors degree from Western University and studied economic development at Oxford University. She is a member of the Society of Professional Journalists, ACES International Alliance of Editors, and the Canadian Network on Cuba. She is the author of two published books. Since early 2015, she is the co-founder and editor of the business news site, Cuba Business Report. 001476131 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 05, 2023). 001476131 650_0 $$aExecutives$$zCuba$$vInterviews. 001476131 650_0 $$aEconomic development$$zCuba$$xHistory$$y21st century. 001476131 650_0 $$aInvestments, Foreign$$zCuba. 001476131 651_0 $$aCuba$$xEconomic conditions$$y1990- 001476131 651_0 $$aCuba$$xOfficials and employees$$vInterviews. 001476131 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001476131 7001_ $$aKirk, John M.,$$ewriter of foreword. 001476131 7001_ $$aEntwistle, Mark A.,$$eauthor. 001476131 7001_ $$aCordoví, Juan Triana,$$eauthor. 001476131 7001_ $$aHartill, Élise C.,$$eauthor. 001476131 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHernández, T.
