Visit Puerto Rico

The Puerto Rico Tourism Company says the group saw a surge in visitors across the Island over the Easter and Passover holidays and Spring Break. From the island of Culebra off the northeast coast to the southwest region of Cabo Rojo, small family-owned inns to major hotels were bustling with crowds enjoying the beaches, diverse attractions and nightlife over the long weekend. This is evidence of U.S. travelers’ growing trust in Puerto Rico’s readiness to welcome them again since the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria in late 2017.
Despite the booming tourist areas, many residents on the island still need electricity, food, and water. You can donate money to the relief efforts here.

The first-ever luxury space hotel was introduced during the Space 2.0 Summit in San Jose, California. Named after the magical light phenomenon that illuminates the Earth’s polar skies, Aurora Station is being developed by Orion Span and the company’s team of space industry veterans, who have over 140 years of human space experience.
The first fully modular space station to ever debut, Aurora Station will operate as the first luxury hotel in space. The exclusive hotel will host six people at a time – including two crew members. Space travelers will enjoy a completely authentic, once-in-a-lifetime astronaut experience with extraordinary adventure during their 12-day journey, starting at $9.5M per person. Deposits are now being accepted for a future stay on Aurora Station, which is slated to launch in late 2021 and host its first guests in 2022. The fully refundable deposit is an eye-watering $80,000 per person and can be reserved online here.
