New York State to Showcase Taste of NY in Puerto Rico
New York State Empire Development funds will be used to finance a newly-opened Office of Trade and Tourism in San Juan, Puerto Rico, announced Governor Andrew M. Cuomo.
The purpose of the office, which will feature four full-time employees, is to promote tourism from Puerto Rico to New York State and to explore and maximize trade possibilities between the two. As part of the project, a store will feature NY themed and made-in-NY merchandise for sale.
The initial list of items to be featured in the store was chosen by the Taste NY program which is a division of the Department of Agriculture and Markets. Commissioner Richard A. Ball explained how the program will allow NY to “showcase some of our best products from across the state to the world, helping to expand our farmers’ and producers’ reach to new markets.”
The list of vendors to be included was outlined in a press release from the Governor’s office and are the following:
