Spanish hotel group Meliá says it will close several hotels it operates in Cuba, adding to a wider trend of foreign firms scaling back their presence on the island. Multiple outlets report that Meliá’s decision follows new U.S. sanctions announced by Washington, alongside the continuation of an oil embargo. ABC News, The Independent and the Washington Times frame the move as part of the impact of the U.S. policy environment on Cuba’s tourism sector. Breitbart specifies more detail, saying Meliá will stop operating 15 of the 34 hotels it currently administers in Cuba—equivalent to nearly half of its portfolio there. While the reports describe Meliá’s withdrawal or limitations as the latest blow to Cuba’s tourism industry, they do not provide further specifics in the material provided on the timeline of closures, the affected hotel locations, or whether the remaining properties will continue to operate unchanged. All accounts agree on the core point: Meliá is shuttering some Cuban hotels in response to the tightening sanctions context described by the United States.
