Not sure what you mean by "A country 1/3 the size of California has just presented itself to the USA."
Its the USA that has maintained the standoff, not Cuba. Cuba has always been "presenting itself" since 1959.

Also, without real changes in the US's travel ban on Americans, then Cuba's tourism industry isn't going to change much .. the rest of the world already has regular relations with Cuba, most notably, tourism.
