Puerto Rico, a 100 x 35 island with an immense wealth of resources, perfect year-round weather and over 1,200 beaches along our coasts, has historically centralized tourism and the resources available to communities in the metropolitan region. With the visitor economy being a crucial element for the economic development of our country, we must maximize our natural resources and cultural value for the socioeconomic well-being of the country.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

According to the World Tourism Organization, tourism is a social, cultural, and economic phenomenon that involves the movement of people to various destinations outside their usual environment for personal, professional, or business reasons. According to the most recent data from 2020, in Puerto Rico, tourism represents almost 3% of the gross domestic product, receiving more than 3.2 million visitors per year. However, only some regions of the country benefit from the tourism activity given the centralized approach that has prevailed for decades. Today, multiple efforts are being made by the government, organizations, and the communities themselves to decentralize tourism and generate more economic activity from the visitor economy throughout the island.<\/p>

The idea of decentralization is to allow other regions to benefit from the tourism and economic activity provoking and encouraging the creation of new companies that provide tourism services, contributing to the creation of new jobs and a reduction in poverty levels. It is also necessary to consider sustainable tourism to avoid the accelerated depreciation of resources due to tourism use.<\/p>

This is the case of the eastern region, particularly the municipality of Naguabo, a rural community that faces a variety of challenges, with a population of 23,386 inhabitants, where 44.1% live in poverty, and the income per capita is of $9,283, according to statistics from the 2020 Census. The interesting thing is that Naguabo has one of the most important natural attractions not only in Puerto Rico, but also in the Caribbean, El Yunque National Forest. The region of El Yunque includes the municipalities of Can\u00f3vanas, R\u00edo Grande, Luquillo, Fajardo, Ceiba, Naguabo, Las Piedras, Juncos and Humacao. However, historically, this important attraction has been marketed almost exclusively as part of R\u00edo Grande. El Yunque serves as an important economic engine, being the second most visited attraction in Puerto Rico, representing 20% of visitor activity around the island, and receiving about 1.2 million visitors annually, of which 40% are local visitors from other regions of the island, according to statistics from the U.S. Forest Service.<\/p>

Given the importance of this incredible natural asset, Foundation for Puerto Rico (FPR) continues to support the community of Naguabo to develop Destination 191: El Yunque del Caribe, an initiative co-designed with community leaders, which seeks to develop and implement a plan to revitalize and promote Route 191 in Cubuy, as a vibrant destination that provides a second entrance to El Yunque National Forest. This initiative, which originated with local community leadership, is being expanded and developed following a collaborative partnership between FPR and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Division to assist in the planning and development of destinations that help improve the social, cultural and economic structures of rural communities. This initiative coincides with the signing of a volunteer agreement between the local non-profit organization, Comit\u00e9 Pro-Desarrollo de Cubuy, Inc. and the U.S. Forest Service for the co-management of the Sabana River Recreational Area in Cubuy.<\/p>

Through Destination 191, we keep making affirmative steps toward a decentralized tourism and visitor economy that translates into increased revenues for the regions, and sustainable economic activity that promotes social development in the communities. Decentralization is the way to achieve a solid and sustainable tourism ecosystem, and community participation in decision-making is vital so that more Puerto Ricans throughout the island can benefit from the country’s economic and tourism activity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
