Former Central Intelligence Agency agent Philip Agee, a longtime friend of communist Cuba, has resurfaced in Havana, where he has launched a travel Web site aimed at attracting American tourists to the island, according to wire service reports.
The site, (http://www.cubalinda.com), backed by European investors, offers Americans package tours within Cuba and other help with Cuban tourism even though they are in direct violation of the U.S.’s Cuban trade embargo.
The Web site, which has been partially running since February, was set to kick off its first major promotion targeted at Americans — a weeklong tour during carnival festivities in July and August.
Prices start at around $600 inclusive – although not including airfare, which must be arranged separately and through a third country unless the visitor receives a Treasury Department license, he said.
The tours must be pre-paid over the Internet to a European bank account run by the company.
