In addition to its geopolitical value, Cuba has some of the most favorable geography in the world for agriculture and tourism. It's 4x the size of Hawaii and conveniently located for America, Latin America, and Europe.

They also have a highly educated population, a rich culture of music and food recognized around the world, and low crimes.

It has the potential to be a world class travel destination - the only thing holding it in irrelevance is its own despotic government and the US's sanctions on said government.

If you were a profit-driven imperialist, Cuba probably represents the largest untapped opportunity in the Western Hemisphere.
