CUBA’S BUSINESS REVOLUTION • Ten years ago, a new dawn emerged in Havana. Thousands of Cubans opened private restaurants, cafés, bars, gift stores and boutique accommodation. The chance to open these small businesses had been rubber-stamped by then president Raul Castro in a bid to boost Cuba’s ailing economy. While entrepreneurial Habaneros battled bureaucracy unfamiliar tax laws and the lack of wholesale markets, visitors to the island began enjoying a galaxy of fine dining Joints, funky little cafes, designer stores, late-night bars, music haunts and independent boutique hotels. Plenty of private sector jobs were outlawed on the island – and they still are – but now more than half a million Cubans run their own business – the majority in Havana. This revolution sparked life back into the Cuban capital. Visitors who haven’t been to Havana since the aughts would have trouble recognising the city today.
