The main reason is the United States embargo against Cuba, which has been enforced since 1960. Also, other regulations such as the Helms-Burton Act (which basically penalizes foreign countries that do business in Cuba by preventing them from doing business in the U.S.) have prevented major foreign investment into the island.
