At the Condado Vanderbilt hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Christian Correa clocked in to work the night-shift as a doorman and braced for the worst.
Correa, who is also a bellman at the hotel, has seen a surge in American tourists coming to the US territory in the last three months and the hotel has been busy. Although he used to enjoy high season before the pandemic, recently, many tourists arriving to Puerto Rico have enraged local residents and hospitality workers as the island eases its Covid-19 restrictions.
“The tourists think they can do whatever they want,” says Correa, 24, who is also a student at the University of Puerto Rico. “We’ve seen fights, parties in the rooms and aggressive behavior.”
Low-cost flights to Puerto Rico have enticed many travelers to choose the island as a vacation spot during the pandemic. A one-way flight to Puerto Rico from Florida booked two days in advance could be as low as $62.

Yes, but we’ve never seen behavior like this from “Americans” before.

Wow, that Puerto Rican Tanning Butter really works great.
They trashed Myrtle Beach with Black Bike week to the point merchants close up and leave so looks like cheap flights and “CV Relief $$” can finance a Caribbean trash fest.

A cousin to this day maintains that his time in the US Navy (the 1970s ?) at Roosevelt Roads was the best weather, fishing...everything was great.

A demographic breakdown might hold some clues.
Portland Oregon burns. Chicago is a shooting gallery and there is an infantry invasion occurring at the southern border. Obnoxious tourists seem a tad quaint to me at this topsy turvy time.
Do they bring and spend money?
