The U.S. Department of Agriculture kicked off Monday “National Homeownership Month,” highlighting its role in helping people buy homes in rural areas across the U.S. mainland and Puerto Rico.
More than a handful of local tourism leaders gathered for a panel discussion hosted by the Foundation for Puerto Rico concurred there is a need for a multi-sector tourism statistics database to be able to gauge the visitor economy and its economic impact.
After months of negotiation, U.S. House Republicans introduced a bill that would help Puerto Rico deal with its $69 billion debt that has crippled its economy, setting rules that would allow it to seek bankruptcy protection.
