This is what Wikipedia says: “Tourism in Puerto Rico attracted 3.7 million visitors in 2019 and 1.0 million visitors in 2015, a notable increase from the average of 2010–2014 at 3.1 million. Tourism has been a very important source of revenue for Puerto Rico for a number of decades given it is host to diverse natural wonders, cultural and historical buildings, concerts and sporting events. Visitors from the United States do not need a passport to enter Puerto Rico and the ease of travel attracts many tourists from the mainland United States each year.”

Most people
are unaware of Puerto Rican history. To help Suzana understand a little better
her experience on our island, I left this comment on here video:
“Thank you
Suzana for visiting Puerto Rico. Being a Puerto Rican, I just wanted to mention
a few things that will not be obvious to visitors. Most Puerto Rican on our
island, there are 78 cities, don’t speak English fluently. In San Juan and the
El Yunque Rain Forest, being tourist destinations, you will have English
speakers there. The expensiveness of Puerto Rico is due to a United States (US)
law that requires us to use US ships to get cargo in and out of Puerto Rico. These
US ships are the most expensive in the world. Puerto Rico has been a US colony
for the past 123 years. Most Puerto Ricans have been indoctrinated with US
propaganda since birth. Puerto Ricans have learned the racism that we have primarily
from 405 years of Spanish colonialism, and the balance from the US. Most Puerto
Ricans have been brainwashed to accept their US slavery. Others are working to
decolonize our minds first to then engage in resistance to force the US
government to comply with the United Nations’ (UN) Charter of 1945 that
prohibits colonialism, and with 39 UN resolutions asking it to immediately
return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. You won’t find this is
the mainstream media. You might find this link educational. http://webtv.un.org/watch/5th-meeting-committee-of-24-special-committee-on-decolonization/6051725003001/.
I hope this was helpful!”
If Puerto
Rico were decolonized, how much more tourism could we generate by having lower
costs and making our island even more attractive by being more reflective to
our indigenous heritage? www.TodosUnidosDescolonizarPR.blogspot.com
Will we dare to be ourselves?
