The President can substantially open Cuba for Americans beyond what he has done by authorizing general licenses for all purposeful travel, including US and Cuban organized conferences. However, legislation adopted in 2000 bars him from permitting tourism, i.e. anything not allowed under Clinton era regulations.
Ironically he does have the power to suspend every other aspect of the embargo because of sloppy drafting of Helms-Burton.
