Article Title：Cuban private entrepreneurship - from periphery to key sector of the economy in tourism-oriented market socialism

Abstract：
The aim of this article is to explore shifts in the role of Cuban private sector within the broader context of tourism economies. Based on ethnographic data collected on two types of private businesses offering their services to tourism-rooms for rent and dance schools-we explore how this formerly peripheral sector of the economy became key in the period of Cuba's transition to market socialism. We explore processes of its internationalization and professionalization while it remains heavily informed by subsistence economies and navigates through shifting regulations of the ideologically socialist state.
