With just three home games to play before this year’s soccer season is over, Puerto Rico Football Club officials are celebrating a successful run that has drawn not only scores of local fans, but also diehard supporters who have traveled to the island to cheer on visiting teams.
Saying the island’s tourism sector is the “first industry to come out of recession,” Puerto Rico Tourism Co. Executive Director Ingrid Rivera said the work done over the past three-and-a-half years would result in record-breaking numbers by year’s end.
To mark this year’s “Tourism Month” celebration in September, the Puerto Rico Hotel and Tourism Association on Tuesday unveiled an agenda of events including a gathering of the island’s gubernatorial candidates for a discussion about their plans for this economic sector.
