U.S. sanctions on Cuba will significantly impact tourism and banking sectors, with hotel closures and payment disruptions leading to a 40-60% revenue drop in tourism and 5-10% in banking. Key risk: if alternative payment methods or hotel management solutions emerge quickly.

U.S. sanctions on Cuba are forcing foreign companies to exit, disrupting payment systems (Visa/Mastercard) and hotel operations. The mechanism is regulatory: sanctions create compliance risk for foreign firms, leading to withdrawal from the Cuban market. This affects tourism (hotel closures) and banking (payment suspension). Impact is country-specific (Cuba) with spillover to foreign companies exposed to Cuba.
