ACCESSIBLE DESTINATION
Within a five and a half hour flight time for 232 million people, one unique benefit Puerto Rico enjoys over other Caribbean nations is that U.S. citizens can travel there without a passport. This makes the Caribbean oasis a favorable and highly accessible travel destination with hundreds of non-stop flights in and out of Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) every day—one of many reasons Puerto Rico is among the most traveled destinations in the Caribbean.

According to STR, the Puerto Rican lodging market consists of 160 properties totaling 15,849 hotel rooms with a very low supply pipeline consisting of 285 hotel rooms.
