Havana, Apr 2, (RHC), – Home holiday rental site Airbnb has added Cuba to its list of destinations, the BBC reports today.
More than 1,000 properties in the Caribbean nation are already listed, but can only be booked by users in the US.
The San Francisco-based site is restricted from showing the listings elsewhere because of US economic sanctions against the island.
Nevertheless, Airbnb said Cuba could eventually become one of its biggest markets in Latin America.
One expert, however, said the site faced major challenges, such as Airbnb's high commission rates and slow Internet in the island nation.
