The Puerto Rico Tourism Company (PRTC) has received the Aquila Center for Cruise Excellence’s “Aquila Whalesong Award for Excellence in People Investment”.

The award, presented during Seatrade 2024, celebrates organizations that demonstrate outstanding dedication to nurturing talent and fostering growth and development within the tourism sector.

The award, which takes the form of a whale tail and symbolizes strength, wisdom and the profound harmony echoed in the whale song, recognizes the exemplary commitment of the PRTC team.
