Tourists walk in front of Fort San Felipe del Morro in San Juan
Tourists walk in front of Fort San Felipe del Morro in San Juan, Puerto Rico, July 18, 2015. Puerto Rico may sport palm trees, pristine beaches and glorious weather but its tourism industry is losing out to rival Caribbean islands - and that is holding the U.S. territory back at a time when its deeply troubled economy most needs a fillip. Hoteliers blame a variety of issues for Puerto Rico lagging in both the growth of visitors and hotel rooms: mandatory staff perks, high construction and electricity costs, as well as plenty of red tape.
