Discover Puerto Rico Fails to Secure Budget Increase

Published Jul 28, 2026, 11:10 PM ASTvia El Nuevo Día

Why this matters: The budget decision affects Discover Puerto Rico’s ability to promote the island as a tourist destination, which is crucial for the local economy.

Discover Puerto Rico, the island’s Destination Marketing Organization (DMO), had its request to increase its budget from $58 million to $86 million for the 2026-2027 fiscal year denied. The organization had sought the budget increase, but it did not prosper.

The current budget for Discover Puerto Rico is $58 million, and it was seeking an increase of $28 million for the upcoming fiscal year.
