The U.S. is now closer to lifting it's half-century-old ban on travel to Cuba than it has been in decades.
H.R. 4645, the Travel Restrictions and Expert Enhancement Act, which was passed in late June by the House Agricultural Committee,　states:
"The President may not regulate or prohibit, directly or indirectly, travel to or from Cuba by United States citizens or lawful permanent residents, or any of the transactions incident to such travel; and any regulation in effect on such date of enactment that regulates or prohibits travel to or from Cuba by United States citizens or lawful permanent residents or transactions incident to such travel shall ease to have any force or effect."
"Americans really want to see Cuba," said Robert Whitely, president of the U.S. Tour Operators. "We predict that at least 850,000 Americans will go to Cuba in the first year."
