Gov. Luis Fortuño told Puerto Rico hoteliers Wednesday he will be signing an executive order next week to formally establish a public-private workgroup to outline the structure and duties of what will be the island’s Destination Management Organization.
The Puerto Rico Hotel and Tourism Association will mark its annual convention to be held Sept. 17-21 by asking the island’s gubernatorial candidates to outline their strategies to tackle five main “pillars” of concern to the industry: security, the current labor situation, energy costs, casino-related problems, and the much-discussed creation of the destination management organization.
The Destination Marketing Association International recently renewed the Puerto Rico Convention Bureau’s destination marketing organization (DMO) status, including it in an elite group that has met a set of rigorous quality and service standards.
