President Donald Trump has imposed major new travel restrictions on visits to Cuba by United States citizens, including a ban on many forms of educational and recreational travels.
The Treasury Department said in a statement that the United States will no longer allow the group educational and cultural trips known as people-to-people travel to the Island.
Those trips have been used by thousands of American citizens to visit the Island.
Treasury Department said it will also deny permission for private and corporate aircraft and boats.
However, commercial airline flights appear to be unaffected and travel for university groups, academic research, journalism and professional meetings will be allowed.
The end to group educational travel will likely deal a heavy blow to American tourism on the Island, which took off after former President Barack Obama moved to ease the half-century embargo against the Cuban government in 2014.
