Americans cannot travel to Cuba purely as tourists. However, they can visit under 12 authorized categories, such as family visits, educational activities, or humanitarian projects. Travelers must follow U.S. regulations, use approved accommodations, and keep records of their trip for five years. Check official guidelines before planning your visit.

Americans can travel to Cuba, but only for specific reasons, such as cultural exchange, academic research, or business purposes. Tourist travel is prohibited, but under the Support for the Cuban People license, U.S. citizens can engage in activities that promote independent activity in Cuba, like spending money in locally-owned businesses.

While Americans cannot visit Cuba purely for tourism, there have been periods of relaxed restrictions, particularly under certain travel licenses. Depending on U.S. policy changes, travelers may still visit under categories like educational or cultural exchange, provided they meet the necessary conditions outlined by the U.S. Treasury Department. Always check the latest travel advisories and regulations before planning a trip.
