Puerto Rico has been selected to host 96 events including, conferences, annual meetings and sports activities for this winter season. This represents an estimated 40,894 room nights and a total direct spending of $23 million into the local economy, Meet Puerto Rico President Milton Segarra said Monday.
Starting today, a delegation of Puerto Rico’s tourism industry, led by Meet Puerto Rico, will participate in the fourth edition of IMEX America, the largest tradeshow for the international meetings, events and incentive travel industry in the U.S., held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Meet Puerto Rico has partnered with the Ricky Martin Foundation to educate the local tourism industry on the impact of human trafficking and its direct effect on the image of the destination, where the nonprofits claim it “is a reality and has serious implications.”
