The US is taking a big step towards normalizing their relationship with Cuba. Let's hope that the American government will see its way clear to completing the job.
Isolation Has Not Worked
A not very small benefit is that this will make it a lot easier to get back and forth between the US mainland and Puerto Rico.
And I would expect the tourist industry to boom.
And ... perhaps with increased knowledge ... some people will see that communist\socialist governments are not always as evil as some believe.
Enjoy.

Cruiseboat Stops
and students can get study visas.
With diplomatic relations restored I would expect to see more people wanting to visit and cruise lines pushing to add Havana to their schedules. And I'll bet a lot of boaters would want to visit.
One of our local artists has been and has had a showing of his photos.
Expect more.

... But the Cubans will get access to a huge trading partner right on their doorstep. ...
Curiously I have always thought that opening up trade to Cuba would be the best way to undermine the Castro government.
