General Overview of the PRTC

Puerto Rico’s strategic geographic location and economic incentives deliver unique advantages that few other locations can provide. The strength of Puerto Rico as an investment opportunity lies, among other things, on its political stability, its modern infrastructure, and a highly skilled bilingual workforce. We are the main air and sea access hub in the Caribbean with multiple weekly flight options to and from the United States and mayor cities in Latin America and Europe and ports that accommodate all types of vessels and cruise ships.

Puerto Rico remains ahead of the competition by offering a full range of options. The tourism industry has been identified as one of the economic engines with the most potential for growth. Our Tourism Incentive Program offers a flexible package of specific tax credits and exemptions that give a full scope of financial options. PRTC also assists investors in devising an adequate capital structure plan suited to the specific requirements of each tourism-focused project.
