PR Why Puerto Rico? Because Puerto Rico needs to send a clear and strong message on what has to offer and let the potential US visitor know that there is plenty more to this island than fantastic beaches and sun.
Why Now? Because the US tourism market is in a moment of change now that is coming out of the crisis and Puerto Rico needs to take advantage of its unique characteristics, localization and relationship to the US to make the most of it and attract visitors that are otherwise spoilt with choice.
Why The New Yorker? Because the Tri-State area and New York are the most important single market for Puerto Rico and The New Yorker is the best possible media to target this market.

PUERTO RICO
INTRODUCTION Puerto Rico offers much more than beautiful beaches and all year round sun. The un-spoilt islands of Vieques and Culebra, the opulence of a rich Spanish colonial past, amazing nature, first class convention and business facilities, and a diverse gastronomy -not to mention some of the world’s best rums- have seduced New Yorkers for decades. All of these factors, together with the warmth of its people, help to make Puerto Rico, La Isla del Encanto, one of the top destinations for the American traveler and the Tri-State holidaymaker, who keep coming back for more. The Tri-State area (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) has, for a considerable time, been Puerto Rico’s “bread-and-butter” tourism market. Recently, the global recession, and its impact on the Tri-State area, has been a source of concern to many in the Puerto Rican tourism sector, as the number of those taking holidays in the Caribbean has declined. That said, Puerto Rico remains uniquely positioned to take advantage of a rebound; extraordinarily well connected by numerous daily flights, the islands are just a short plane trip from any of New York’s airports, and with no need for a passport or currency exchange, Puerto Rico is easily the best option for a Caribbean break. Each week, The New Yorker sets the agenda for what everyone will be talking about - from news-breaking global business and political stories to reporting on international destinations. The New Yorker delivers information and analysis that make it a must-read for decision makers throughout the country and affluent New Yorkers and residents in the Tri-State area. With 58% of millionaire readers, more than a third of The New Yorker readers are frequent travelers and over 41% have traveled abroad recently. “NY Puerto Rico” is a special edition travel feature –not a pull out insert- on one of the world’s most enchanting and vibrant destinations. This unique feature will highlight why Puerto Rico, already occupying a place in the heart of so many New Yorkers, deserves the attention of the high-profile readership of the New Yorker. Read by 4.5 million affluent New Yorker readers, the feature will discuss what Puerto Rico can offer to the discerning traveler and why Puerto Rico should be the destination of choice for our exclusive readership.

Currently published by Condé Nast Publications, one of the most exclusive publishing houses with titles such as Vogue, Vanity Fair or Condé Nast Traveler, The New Yorker is one of the most influential weekly publications in the US and is widely distributed throughout the country although especially read in New York and the Tri-State area. Reputed for its independence –well established after more than 80 years of publication- and own style, is the indispensable reference for New Yorkers and Americans in general in all matters ranging from international affairs to theatre or film critics.
With well over 1 million copies per issue (95% subscriptions), almost half of them are distributed within the New York metropolitan area and out of its 4.5 million readers, almost 60% millionaires, a fifth are C-level executives. The New Yorker reader counts amongst the most frequent international travellers both for business and leisure (a third are frequent travellers and more than 40% have travelled abroad recently). Approximately, half of The New Yorker’s readership concentrates in the Tri-State region, the area in which more than a million Puerto Ricans of first, second or third generation reside, and where Puerto Rican culture occupies a very relevant position. This area is also the origin of more than 50% of North American visitors to Puerto Rico, and although hit by the crisis as every other part of the country, is the one showing fastest signs of recovery. In addition to the printed edition, the digital edition of The New Yorker is one of the most popular and widely visited in the US, registering over 36 million visitors per year. The average reader of The New Yorker is one of the most loyal in the weekly market, highly educated and with an average income well over the American average. Frequent traveller, chic, interested in culture, gastronomy and open to new experiences, our readers –particularly in the North East of the US- are already familiar with and keen on Puerto Rican culture.
