FROM
CUBA
Permits to rent to foreign lodgers could
be rescinded
HAVANA, Cuba - July 5 (Juan Carlos Linares
Balmaseda / www.cubanet.org) - After a meeting
of representatives of the Popular Power
focused on supposed problems created by
Cubans renting rooms in their homes to foreign
visitors, the discussion among those present
turned to possibly rescinding permits that
allow the rentals.
Critics say the measure would not change
anything, since the number of Cubans engaged
in the trade is minimal, due to what they
call onerous taxes and regulations they
are subject to.
Representatives at the meeting said the
illustration of the alleged problems caused
by the rentals was provided by the story
of a house in Central Havana that provided
"pornography services."
