I think that would truly be a shame. I'll be honest and say I don't see too many parallels been Cuba and Puerto Rico's current crisis, but I would hate to see the Cuban people worse off than they are.
I think "cookie cutter tourism" might end up being a slight boost to the economy and standard of living overall (provided the government writes policies that allow this).
However, I do think the uniqueness of the Cuban experience (and there are fewer and fewer such places left) will disappear fast.
