It is the latest stage of reforms begun when President Raul Castro took over from his brother, Fidel in 2008.
Raul Castro has been trying to stimulate Cuba's stagnant economy but has faced resistance from Cuban Communist Party hardliners.
With the restoration of relations with the US last year, Cuba is also opening up to foreign investment.

They have a long way to go, but that's an important step.

It was a step "officially" taken 8 years ago...What will be interesting is how they define the new "medium" size business...Other countries have heavily invested in hotels and resorts for a couple decades...The biggest earners of foreign currency has been Cuba's micro sized hookers...Perhaps the more things change, the more they stay the same......... ;)
