Do you think Americans will travel to Puerto Rico now that you need a passport to go out of the country?

The way you asked this question was not clear & I think you confused people. I understand what you are saying. Puerto Rico should promote travel more b/c americans need passports to go to other places & not to PR.

Well 'No passport required' has actually been a slogan that Puerto Rico has used for a long time. & currently many americans do visit Puerto Rico, there are even many living in PR . There are lots of resorts & tourist activities in PR as well. I dont think the new passport laws will make much of an increase in the travel to PR, but they def could advertise it more & see.

GAMECOCKS!

We went to Puerto Rico last year for that reason. We didn't get around to ordering our passports in time & wanted to go to the carribean.

Anytime you see Puerto Rico travel advertised, they always say something about not needing a passport. I think they are really using that to try to get people to come there.

There are great resorts for families, college/young adults, & couples. It's so pretty & really has stuff for all ages.

I would recommend Puerto Rico to anyone looking to go to the Carribean.

Of Course US Citizen Won't need a Passport to go to Puerto Rico is they are coming from the USA.

Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth of the USA like a State...

Americans have never needed a passport to go to Puerto Rico....PR is part of the US (similar to a state, but not really)....as a US citizen you don't need one to go there.

And I agree with those above...anybody who travels should have a passport, regardless of where you're going.

naruto fan 619 Why would you said something so stupid!!!!
P.R. would like Americans as a tourist the same way they would like people from other countries to come here and see what a beautiful island we have. So please stop been so immature and cafre, and learn how to separate issues. Tourism and our political status are different things don't mix them.

And answering the question I don't think it would make a huge difference. We have every day a lot of Americans visiting the island and a lot more living here. But it would probably attract more people now that they are working a little bit harder in the tourist campaign.

Americans have been traveling to Puerto Rico for eons. Most Americans that travel to PR also travel to other countries, therefore they aready have a passport.

I don't believe you would need a passport to enter or leave Puerto Rico, just proof of U.S. citizenship, like a birth certificate, and picture ID.

i thought you always needed a passport to go to Mexico.
Well im an american and i went to Puerto Rico 3 weeks ago and i didnt need a passport and i dont have one...
i think they would build more resorts no matter what
and requiring a passport will not change peoples mind on going for a great vacation.

Helloooooooooooooooo, we are a Commonwealth of the United States. Study History instead of travel. Read more.

If you are a smart traveler you should always have a passport. No matter if you are going to Mexico,Puerto Rico, Spain, Germany or where ever..

It makes things so much easier. Getting thru customs and crossing borders ...

For some it will make it hard because of cost.. not everyone can afford to get a passport.

Possible.

FTG!

Won't make any difference to me - I have a colorful passport with lots of stamps in it along with extra pages................

"Puerto Rico IS a part of the U.S. (you DUMMY!) It is a territory.
They vote, pay taxes, serve in congress, and the military."

Sorry, but you need to get educated on the subject. They don't pay Federal Income Tax, and they are not allowed to vote because it's not a state, it's a colony. They have "resident commissioner" in the House of Representatives, but can't vote either because PR not a state.

Regardless, the passport is needed to get back in the US. It makes no difference that it's Puerto Rico, you still have to show that you are a legal resident. These rule changes were implemented recently. And allthough you don't abosolutely need to have a passport, you do absolutely have to prove that you are a legal resident or they just won't let you back in.

I travel a lot, so I have a passport, and think everyone should have one, even if you don't travel. It's the best peice of government issued ID you can have. They are not that expensive and it proves you have legal residence. Anybody complaining about the price of a passport, but will spend thousands to visit PR, is missing the point. IF you can't afford a passport, you probably can't afford the trip to begin with.
