This early success with the <i>Summer Is Easy<\/i> campaign suggests that informed travelers are choosing facts over fear and continuing to book <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span>.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The PRTC has been working closely with the CDC and the local Department of Public Health to stay at the front line of defense against the virus. It is taking every precaution possible, including working with hotels to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds, providing education materials about preventing mosquito bites to hotels and guests, and encouraging all travelers to stay informed and prepared. According to Puerto Rico Hotel &amp; Tourism Association (PRHTA) President and CEO, <span class=\"xn-person\">Clarisa Jim\u00e9nez<\/span>, &#8220;PRHTA hotels are actively and aggressively spraying the grounds using Department of Health-endorsed mosquito control companies.&#8221; Jim\u00e9nez added that &#8220;The PRTC, PRHTA, and partners have taken all the measures that the CDC has recommended from day one to protect anyone who visits our beautiful island.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>For more information on <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span> and what it&#8217;s doing to prevent Zika, please visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/puertoriconow.seepuertorico.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">puertoriconow.seepuertorico.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><b>About Puerto Rico Tourism Company<br \/><\/b>The Puerto Rico Tourism Company (PRTC), founded in 1970, is a public corporation responsible for stimulating, promoting and regulating the development of the tourism industry.\u00a0\u00a0It markets <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span> as a tourism destination through advertising, public relations and promotional activities; promotes tourism among visitors and local residents; provides visitor orientation and technical assistance to investors; evaluates tourism facilities and establishes standards of quality; and regulates and oversees gaming operations.\u00a0\u00a0PRTC has offices and representatives in the U.S. mainland, <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Latin America<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Puerto Rico Hotel &amp; Tourism Association <br \/><\/b>The Puerto Rico Hotel and Tourism Association is the organization that represents the private tourism sector in <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span>.
