Centro Habana

But during this special period, Castro turns once more to tourism as a way to scrape back his economy.

However, he bans Cubans from being able to enter some hotels, and foreigners are bussed around between these rarefied facilities in air-conditioned vehicles, while neighborhoods, especially like Centro Habana, fall into chaos and despair, leading to what is now commonly called tourism apartheid.

The locals then, they can barely eat.

They're extremely poor and they are watching all these fancy tourist buses ferrying rich foreigners around Havana without realizing what's going on in the poor areas.
