Although ITMB has published a map of Havana several times, this version is unique because, for the first time, it includes a map of central Cuba (i.e., the hinterland surrounding Havana). To reflect this, the cover features a farmer's wagon selling privately-grown vegetables rather than a typical scene from Havana itself.
Havana, at the time of the most recent visit, showed few signs of improvements but experienced a notable increase in tourism. Over the past year, tourism has surged by 300%, with most visitors aiming to explore Havana. This influx is driving change, and there is hope that some of these benefits will trickle down to improve the lives of ordinary Cubans.
