U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor is on a four-day visit to Cuba, a trip her office

billed as a fact-finding visit focused on opportunities to poise Tampa

as a gateway to Cuba and to create economic opportunities in this region.



She will meet with the Cuban Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of

Energy, the National Association of Cuban Economists, the Foreign

Ministry of Cuba and the U.S. Interests Section in Havana, according to

a written statement.



Castor also will visit farmers, small business owners and Finca Vigia,

Ernest Hemingway's house outside Havana.



The congresswoman recently announced that she supports lifting the

embargo, which restricts travel to and business with Cuba.



She is traveling with representatives of the Washington, D.C.-based

Center for Democracy in the Americas.
