The tourism sector raised a red flag Tuesday over the filing of a Senate Bill late last week that would effectively kill Meet Puerto Rico, the island’s convention and groups coordinator responsible for generating more than $110 million a year for the local economy.
Meet Puerto Rico, the organization responsible for marketing and selling Puerto Rico to the meetings and conventions market, launched its new branding and image campaign Tuesday, with the slogan “On a tropical island. In the Caribbean.”
Meet Puerto Rico’s sales staff recently secured nearly 100 group business bookings that will generate nearly 60,000 room nights for the island’s meeting and convention sector, the nonprofit destination management organization announced.
