More Events are Held in Hotels than in the Convention Center

Lodging establishments in the city are the chosen option by the groups for their spaces and services.

This week, when initiating in Puerto Vallarta the annual meeting of the Mexican Geophysical Union, involving a thousand 300 experts in the fields of earth sciences, it became apparent that hotels are attracting major events coming to the destination, even above the International Convention Center of Puerto Vallarta.

The annual meeting of the Mexican Geophysical Union has the hotel Sheraton Buganvilias as its venue, that together with the Westin and Marriott hotels, has recently concentrated all the group meetings and conventions that have been held in this city, well above the activity that has taken place at the International Convention Center.

Starting in summer, medical meetings have been held, sales meetings of various corporations, marketing conferences, national meetings of specialist colleges, among other activities which have concentrated thousands of people in this city, always taking place in hotels and taking advantage of the work rooms.

The only large meeting held at the International Convention Center was the Latin American Heavy Oil meeting last September, attended by hundreds of experts from the continent.
Since then there has been no more activity in that room, which this year has experienced one of its poorest years in regards to events.

One of the coordinators and treasurer of the board is the Dr. in Earth Sciences with specialization in seismology, Victor Wong Ortega, head of the Department of Seismology of Ensenada, Baja California, who said that they chose Puerto Vallarta on the grounds that it is an excellent place for this type of meeting and it is a city that excels in its hospitality.

The Centro Universitario de la Costa also participates in the event by offering their facilities as Puerto Vallarta has a seismic network which is headed by Dr. Francisco Núñez Cornú, who is responsible for observing the onshore and offshore movements in the Banderas bay and the volcano of Colima as its main points.
