According to Hotels.com, after the hit song of the moment, Despacito, rose in popularity, so did the searches for the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. One of their travel experts reveals that since the song launched on April 17, searches for the Caribbean island are up more than 45 per cent.
The Despacito remix, by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber, has been a global hit, and while the literal translation of the song name means ‘slowly’, it seems holidaymakers are doing the opposite and rushing to book hotel rooms there.
