Cuban Travelogue, courtesy of the NBC Peacock

Matt Lauer performed brilliantly during his audition for the post of Castro's Minister of Tourism.

-Humberto Fontova (in an email to Babalu contributors)

We weren't the only ones that noticed the two hour infomercial for Cuba as a tourist destination that was aired on the National Broadcasting Company's airwaves on Tuesday morning.

Jeff Poor and Amy Menefee of the Business & Media Institute remind us that although Matt Lauer proclaims that "Business is booming and tourists are flocking [to Cuba], some two million a year,” that the Gateway City of St. Louis attracts 20.3 million tourists a year.
