Jineterismo
In Cuba, jineterismo is a category of illegal or semi-legal economic activities related to tourism in Cuba. It covers a broad range of activities including prostitution and pimping, as well as other forms of hustling, such as selling black-market and counterfeit goods, providing private taxi services and serving as informal tourist guides.
The word derives from the Spanish "jinete" ("horserider"). "Jinetear, " meaning "to jockey, " refers to the competitive act of riding a horse for economic reward. A male practitioner is a "jinetero, " while a female is a "jinetera. " The term "jineterismo" became widely used in the 1990s as a synonym for prostitution in Cuba, with prostitutes being referred to as "jineteras. " The United States Department of State defines "jineteros" as street "jockeys" who specialize in swindling tourists. Most jineteros speak English and go out of their way to appear friendly, offering to serve as tour guides or facilitating the purchase of cheap cigars, for example.
