United States citizens are permitted to travel to Cuba, but travel is restricted by U.S. law and cannot be for ordinary tourism. Instead, U.S. citizens must qualify under one of several authorized categories, such as family visits, educational activities, journalism, or “support for the Cuban people.” Travelers are required to certify that their trip meets one of these categories and to follow specific regulations during their stay. As a result, while travel to Cuba is legal, it is tightly regulated rather than freely open for tourism.
