Puerto Rico's group business closed off what has come to be known as the initial Zika period (March to May), “very much open for business,” with 57 new booked pieces of business including events, conferences, annual meetings and sports activities from now through 2017, Meet Puerto Rico officials said Thursday.
Looking to educate and raise awareness of the importance of Puerto Rico’s Tourism’s meetings and conventions sector, which drives the local economy generating $100 million annually in direct visitor spending, Meet Puerto Rico has created and unveiled the muevetuisla.com website.
Colombia and Puerto Rico recently tightened trade relations in the groups and conventions segment, with a presentation by Meet Puerto Rico to more than 80 travel and tourism business professionals from Colombia, said Milton Segarra, president of the agency also known as the Puerto Rico Convention Bureau.
