Caribbean hot spot gripped by water crisis, and tourists scramble to reschedule plans

Puerto Rico is facing a severe water crisis, particularly in San Juan, where over 180,000 customers will experience 48-hour water outages on an alternating schedule. This situation arises from the driest July on record in over 120 years, raising concerns for tourists planning to visit the island. Many travelers are questioning how the water shortages will affect their experiences, especially regarding restaurants and bars. While hotels are equipped with emergency water supplies, the overall impact on local businesses and tourist activities remains uncertain, prompting some to consider canceling their trips.
