British liquor producer Diageo has kicked off the recruitment of college students interested in participating in its “Learning for Life” program, an eight-week hands-on training on Puerto Rico’s service and tourism industry.
The 5th edition of the Puerto Rico Open taking place in Río Grande through Sunday will generate some significant “greens” for the island, estimated at more than $4.7 million in direct benefits and more than $22 million in indirect economic activity, Tourism Company Executive Director Mario González-Lafuente said during a news conference Tuesday.
The Puerto Rico Hotel and Tourism Association called Gov. Luis Fortuño’s decision to move Mario González-Lafuente from his Tourism Company post to the head of the Roosevelt Roads Redevelopment Authority project a “grave mistake” that will affect the sector’s recent progress.
