Description
The top four rows of frames show foreign tourists arriving at Havana's international airport where they are greeted by a singing threesome and an official greeter who is giving away woven hats made from yarey, considered a traditional item of clothing worn by Cuban peasants, or guajiros. The greeters formed part of a revolutionary government program to encourage foreign tourism to the island and market symbols of Cuba's newfound sense of national pride as part of the package. Bottom two rows of images show the Minoffs, a honeymooning couple whom St. George accompanied to Cuba for aTime magazine story on the decline of foreign tourism to Cuba during the early period of the Revolution's radicalization (January to March 1960). For images of the Minoffs, see also Prints 1, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 37, 39, 41, 42 and 94. For images of tourists arriving at the airport, see also Prints 26 and 31.
