Summary

  • Bad Bunny’s 30-night Puerto Rico residency is projected to generate over $200 million USD in economic impact
  • It expects 600,000 visitors, boosting tourism and creating thousands of jobs for the island
  • Initial shows are exclusive to Puerto Rican residents, reflecting Bad Bunny’s focus on his homeland

As a passionate gamer, I can’t help but feel excited about Bad Bunny’s epic “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” residency taking over Puerto Rico! This 30-night music extravaganza, starting today at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan and running through September 14th, is projected to bring a staggering economic boost of more than $200 million USD worldwide.

This event is poised to give a significant push to Puerto Rico’s tourism sector and local economy, with an estimated 600,000 visitors expected to flock to the island. As a fellow music lover and supporter of all things Puerto Rico, I can’t wait to see how this incredible series unfolds!

As reported by CNN, Discover Puerto Rico’s promotional agency predicts that the economic impact of approximately $200 million USD could be underestimated. The 30-date residency is anticipated to significantly increase tourism and generate numerous job opportunities. Hotel bookings were made six months in advance after Benito announced the residency in January, leading to a hotel occupancy rate that reached nearly 70% this summer and a 20% rise in September compared to the previous year. Moreover, flight searches to Puerto Rico have seen a 12% increase.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that the initial nine shows of Bad Bunny’s residency are exclusively for Puerto Rican residents, while the remaining shows will be accessible to global fans like me! The grand Coliseo de Puerto Rico, seating a crowd of 18,500 people, will be our shared stage. Embracing his roots, Bad Bunny’s latest world tour, DeBí TiRAR MáS FOToS, bypasses the U.S., reflecting the artist’s recent statement that this was an “unnecessary” destination due to previous opportunities for American fans to witness him live. In a conversation with Variety, he emphasized that global fans have been eagerly waiting for this tour, and I can’t wait to be one of them!

Bad Bunny’s “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” residency in Puerto Rico kicks off today on July 11, 2025.
