哈瓦那的一抹风情 （讲解版）| E0712

The authorities in the Cuban capital, Havana, say they are restoring a network of hotels where rooms are rented by the hour to lovers. State-run "posadas", or love motels, disappeared during Cuba's economic crisis in the 1990s when they became hurricane shelters. Private householders filled the gap in the market, but at exorbitant prices. Private renters usually provide air-conditioning, a fridge and a comfortable bed and cost about $5 for three hours. But that is around a sixth of the average monthly Cuban salary and unaffordable for most people. State housing officials at the Provincial Housing Company of Havana say the new network of five posadas will be highly lucrative and will help people struggling with Havana's overcrowded and scarce housing.
