Hold your horses.
Trips to Cuba for U.S. citizens are still a long way out, according to Orbitz CEO Barney Harford.
"We fully expect to be able to offer travel to Cuba within a year," Harford told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Friday. "There are certainly some additional questions we have for [the U.S. Treasury Dept.] to achieve complete clarity on the meaning of the regulations. That's not surprising since the [Obama] administration released the changes only weeks ago."

The new regulations for travel between the U.S. and Cuba came into effect on Friday and allow Americans to spend up to $8,000 per year in Cuba and carry up to $10,000 into the island, according to a Reuters . The regulations also permit the use of U.S. credit and debit cards in Cuba.
Harford also discussed the hits travel sites have taken since the Swiss National Bank tossed away its currency cap on the euro, leading to a surge by the Swiss franc. "Businesses that have greater exposure to Europe may be impacted by the fact that those euros translate into a lower rate," he said.

Harford added that Orbitz is actually benefiting from the euro's fall, since most of the company's business comes from U.S. consumers. "Just over 70 percent of our revenues come from the U.S., so as you see a strengthening dollar, that's actually great for the majority of our travelers because it makes Europe as a destination significantly more affordable," he said.
