    The travel-related transactions and such additional transactions as are directly incident to educational exchanges not involving academic pursuant to a degree program-that is, people-to-people exchanges-are authorized, provided that:

    • The exchanges take place under the auspices of an organization subject to U.S. jurisdiction and that sponsors such exchanges to promote people-to-people contact;
    • Travel must be for the purpose of engaging, while in Cuba, in a full-time schedule of activities intended to enhance contact with the Cuban people, support civil society in Cuba, or promote the Cuban people’s independence from Cuban authorities.
    • Each traveler has a full-time schedule of educational exchange activities that will result in meaningful interaction between the traveler and individuals in Cuba.
    • An employee, paid consultant or agent of the sponsoring organization accompanies each group traveling to Cuba to ensure that each traveler has a full-time schedule of educational exchange activities; and
    • The predominant portion of the activities engaged in by individual travelers is not with individuals or entities acting for or on behalf of certain prohibited officials of the Government of Cuba or certain members of the Cuban Communist Party.

    Important:
    Note 1: An organization that sponsors and organizes trips to Cuba in which travelers engage in individually selected and/or self-directed activities would not qualify for the general license.

    • Authorized trips are expected to be led by the sponsoring organization.
    • Transactions related to activities that are primarily tourist-oriented, including self-directed educational activities that are intended only for personal enrichment, are not authorized.
