Puerto Rico Named One of Best Spring Break Destinations

With spring break quickly approaching, many college students are attempting to book travel arrangements to premium destination sites. And according to a Web site created to disperse spring break information to college students, Puerto Rico is ranked No. 2 in the best spring break sites for students.

Nadine Hernandez, a member of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, said it is an ideal place for American college students because a passport is not required and U.S. currency is used on the island.

"It is a really great place to visit," Hernandez said. "We have seen an increase in college students in recent years. We now have roughly 200,000 visitors to the city of Ponce every year.

Even though Ponce is a popular city to visit, the most popular site is San Juan (See Slide Show below). San Juan consists of two million people and has an active nightlife scene. Hernandez said this is why San Juan is more notably known, and is expecting to bring in about $2 billion in tourism in 2010.
