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.
