The Hard Rock Hotel is the eighth hotel to receive this certificate, awarded to businesses that exemplify a commitment to social and environmental responsibility.

The Riviera Nayarit, which prides itself on being a destination that’s pro the environment and the community, recently received its eight EarthCheck certificate.

This time it was the Hard Rock Hotel that recently received a 2014 Silver Certificate from EarthCheck, which it obtained once it passed all of the sustainability procedures needed to achieve accreditation.

EarthCheck is the top environmental benchmarking and certification program in the world.

“I think this gives us one more attribute to add to our list when it comes to selling. It also demonstrates to both the domestic and international tourist that nowadays there are hotels in the Riviera Nayarit which are sensitive to the conservation of the environment, especially since climate change is a global issue,” said Luis Entrala Fábregas, Director of the Hard Rock Hotel.

In order to become certified the interested party must first conduct a check of the environmental health of the company, undergo several benchmarking programs and evaluate its environmental and social impact.

Afterwards it must follow a sustainable plan of action, implement changes in its procedures and its personnel training, verification and compensation, as well as in its monitoring and marketing.

Seven hotels in the Riviera Nayarit have already obtained an EarthCheck certification; the recently inaugurated Iberostar Playa Mita is currently undergoing the procedures necessary to obtain its own certificate.

The list of hotels that are already certified includes Mayan Palace, Grand Mayan, Ocean Breeze, Grand Bliss, Grand Luxxe, Grand Palladium and Hotel Cinco.

The Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau would like to congratulate the Hard Rock Hotel for this achievement, which serves to create an even more attractive destination for tourists visiting Mexico’s Pacific Treasure.

The Cultural Capital of the Riviera Nayarit invites everyone to view Cuaderno de artista by Rodrigo Ballester, on display at Bodega 3.
In step with its title of Cultural Capital of the Riviera Nayarit, San Pancho is extending an invitation to view a new art exhibit to be displayed at Bodega 3, an exhibition space that recently opened its doors to presentations by artists not belonging to the San Pancho Collective.

The current expo is titled Cuaderno de artista: Guorquin proces, created by self-taught plastic artist, Rodrigo Ballester, originally from Xalapa, Veracruz.

The inauguration of this particular gallery will be on April 30th at 8 p.m., a date that falls on Mexico’s celebration of Children’s Day. The artwork produced by Ballester will occupy the entire Bodega 3 gallery floor in order to fully display his splendid pieces.

From the exhibit description: “Rodrigo Ballester gives us a glimpse of the intimate life of the artist through his journals (cuadernos) and works in process. These journals contain several formal structures that eventually become concrete projects, but since they are notebooks they also contain telephone numbers and doodles drawn during phone conversations, as well as thoughts, poems, songs and mantras.”

“These journals compile a part of the intimate life and day-to-day thoughts of someone who tries to create a life from everything he knows how to do and does it in a conscious manner. An installation of bamboo, a bamboo treatment machine, a metallic mural, monotypes, a video and a serious of random objects emerge from the notes and materialize, little by little, until they become the exhibit itself,” concludes the description.

The first exhibit recently held in this cultural/artistic space was a success; with this second expo San Pancho continues to expand its frontiers through art.

The unique way the Cultural Capital of the Riviera Nayarit presents itself to tourists with cultural pursuits is commendable. Presentations like these work in sync to continue to position Mexico’s Pacific Treasure with this particular segment of visitors.
