Tourism has been an important money revenue industry for Puerto Rico for a very long time. Because Puerto Rico is host to diverse natural wonders, cultural and historical buildings, concerts and sporting events, the island attracts a wide variety of tourists.

The fact that visitors from the United States do not need a passport to enter Puerto Rico attracts a large number of tourists from the mainland United States each year. Other groups of tourists that visit Puerto Rico in large numbers include Mexicans, Dominicans, Venezuelan, Spaniards, French and Asian tourists.
