Puerto Rico
From its unique history to its one-of-a-kind culture, Puerto Rico is a destination known for knocking it out of the park when it comes to hosting a sporting event. Making it even better is its year-round fair weather, allowing for more options for play.
“Puerto Rico is an ideal destination to host sporting events of any size-anytime of the year,” says Carlos Deliz, senior sports sales manager for Discover Puerto Rico. “As a U.S territory with air service from most major U.S. cities, the island offers the beauty of an exotic, culturally appealing destination without the need of passport or currency exchange requirement.”
