Casinos and tourism helped, but they where not the whole picture.

As for more desirable locations, Cuba was considered a desirable location, and not just because its close to the US.

Now its economy is probably more dependent on tourism than it was back in Batista's day. Not that Batistia was anything close to what could be called "good government".
