Puerto Rico’s New Progressive Party (PNP) expanded from two to five the hotels available to participants in its annual convention, to be held December 4 to 6 in the island’s western region, after the rooms initially set aside sold out in barely two days, the party said. PNP Secretary General Jorge Santini said on Sunday, November 8 that the organization arranged three additional lodging properties to meet attendees’ demand for the event titled "¡Vamos pa’l Oeste! De Parranda con la Palma."
In barely two days the rooms we had set aside in two hotels for our convention sold out.
"In barely two days the rooms we had set aside in two hotels for our convention sold out. Given the demand, we have made arrangements to set aside three additional hotels," Santini said in written statements. The party had initially set aside rooms at the Courtyard by Marriott Aguadilla and the Mayagüez Resort; the Parador El Faro, Vista Azul in Aguadilla and Punta Borinquen were added.
The organization did not specify how many rooms were originally reserved or how many additional rooms the three properties will provide. Beyond social activities, the meeting will include assemblies to select the leaders of the PNP’s Youth, Women and Public Servants organizations, and will discuss the country’s infrastructure, LUMA Energy’s performance and statehood for Puerto Rico.
Activities will be spread across several towns in the western region and will bring together party leaders, elected officials and members. The PNP has not disclosed the detailed itinerary or the number of participants it expects over the three days.
