In 2018 I visited Puerto Rico to report on the impacts of tourism following a natural disaster. I sat down with Discover Puerto Rico’s CEO, small business owners and residents of the island to hear their stories.
While there I had the chance to photograph some of the island’s most stunning natural landscapes for Marriott International’s regional marketing team with the goal of showing their conditions one year after Hurricane Maria tore apart the U.S. territory.
In addition to the article and album of photographs, I put together this video as something of a passion project to share my own experience and more clearly show the direct impact that tourism has on an economy recovering from natural disaster.
