Discover Puerto Rico has confirmed it will be “leaning into the LGBTQ market in 2020” as it positions itself as an inclusive Caribbean destination.

Leah Chandler, chief marketing officer at Discover Puerto Rico, revealed the destination was “opening up a marketing component for the LGBTQ market” going into 2020 and would be setting a “special budget set aside” for marketing activities aimed at this demographic.


“Historically the Caribbean has not been seen as welcoming for LGBTQ visitors.

“We want to communicate we are a good destination for this demographic because as we are part of the US, we have all the same equality laws and legal protections in place,” said Chandler.
