Residents and environmentalists are demanding that the government put an end to the open-cast gold mining project near the town of Famatina, in northwest Argentina. The governor of the region temporarily suspended the project due to ongoing resistance from residents who worry the project will contaminate the water. Gold mining methods require large explosions, huge volumes of water, and the use of cyanide to extract the mineral. (AP Photo/Natacha Pisarenko)

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:50:01 +0100 (Reuters) - Tourists take a ride in a convertible along the Malecon in Havana January 26, 2012. The Arab Spring, changes in U.S. policy and economic reforms at home are driving a tourist rush that is giving communist-run Cuba one of its best seasons ever and stretching its ability to accommodate demand. Cuba just completed its best year for tourism with 2.7 million visitors in 2011, and experts say current bookings suggest it will almost certainly beat that number in 2012.
