Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny has issued a stern message to tourists visiting his homeland, criticising their disrespectful behaviour and urging them to treat the island with more consideration.
The Grammy-winning artist, known for his outspoken views, took aim at visitors who disregard local customs and exploit Puerto Rico's beauty without showing proper respect. His comments come amid growing tensions between locals and tourists in popular destinations like San Juan.
'This Isn't Your Backyard'
"When you visit someone else's home, you don't trash the place," Bad Bunny stated emphatically. "Puerto Rico is our home, not your personal playground."
The reggaeton star highlighted several issues including:
- Disrespectful behaviour at cultural sites
- Environmental damage caused by tourists
- Disregard for local traditions and customs
Growing Local Frustration
Bad Bunny's comments reflect increasing frustration among Puerto Ricans about mass tourism's impact on their island. Many residents feel that while tourism brings economic benefits, it often comes at the cost of their quality of life and cultural heritage.
The artist's intervention has sparked a wider conversation about sustainable tourism and the need for visitors to be more mindful when travelling to Puerto Rico.
