Students enrolled in the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico’s Geomatic Sciences Department majoring in land surveying and mapping, recently unveiled a study related to the Península de Cantera’s Guachinanga Islet that will soon be used to develop an eco-tourism project there.
The Puerto Rico Tourism Company recently received the first “Destination Stewardship Award” bestowed at the annual Caribbean Tourism Organization Sustainable Tourism Conference for its work in creating, developing and implementing programs and initiatives that promote sustainable tourism.
New luxe hotel properties, a higher return for investors, and greater satisfaction by cruise passengers visiting the island are spelling out a brighter outlook for Puerto Rico's tourism industry, according to Tourism Co. Executive Director Luis Rivera Marín.
The Tourism Co. has designated a 16-town cluster straddling Puerto Rico’s central mountain region from Lares to Cidra as the new “Porta Cordillera” tourism region, which joins five other areas where municipalities have banded together to develop travel and leisure-related economic activity.
The Puerto Rico Tourism Co. unveiled its digital media strategy, including it redesigned www.seepuertorico.com institutional website that is now an "all inclusive" concept seeking to put as much information as possible about the island at the visitor's fingertips.
In its quest to “decentralize tourism beyond the San Juan metropolitan area,” the Puerto Rico Tourism Company offered details Wednesday of a series of development projects — some already underway, others in the pipeline — for a 16-town region in the mountains with an associated $57 million investment.
The Punta Santiago Natural Reserve in Humacao is working on the final details to become the island’s first ecotourism reserve, following an investment of more than $4.2 million to prepare facilities and hire staff, government officials said after a tour of the facilities late last week.
