Low-cost flights to Puerto Rico have enticed many travelers to choose the island as a vacation spot during the pandemic. A one-way flight to Puerto Rico from Florida booked two days in advance could be as low as $62.
Hotel occupancy reached 60% during Presidentsâ Day holiday weekend in February, according to the islandâs destination marketing organization, Discover Puerto Rico. It was the highest number since Christmas, and hotels expect to reach the same occupancy rates for the forthcoming spring break.
âWe are certainly seeing the effects of increased traveler confidence coinciding with vaccine distribution in the US,â said Brad Dean, CEO of Discover Puerto Rico.
