Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:30:02 +0100 (Reuters) - People walk in the departures terminal of Havana's Jose Marti International Airport January 24, 2012. The Arab Spring, changes in U.S. policy and economic reforms at home are driving a tourist rush that is giving Cuba one of its best seasons ever and stretching its ability to accommodate demand. The communist-run island 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.

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:30:02 +0100 (Reuters) - A worker makes a final check of refined tin before shipment in a warehouse owned by a private company in Pangkalpinang of Indonesia's Bangka Belitung province January 16, 2012. From 2009 until April last year, benchmark prices for tin, mainly used in soldering for electronics, more than tripled to a record high above $33,000 a tonne, which meant hefty profits for the welter of smelters on the Bangka-Belitung islands, the world's largest tin-producing region. Prices, however, came crashing down by mid-2011, and many other facilities in the archipelago off Sumatra island have closed down. Squabbles have also marred efforts to shore up prices through collective action, tarnishing the future of Indonesia's centuries-old tin industry, and its status as the world's top exporter of the metal.
