The public relations strategy undertaken to sponsor this event resulted in a very high level of media exposure with the support of the Mexico Tourism Board: just as the winner’s names were announced, the show aired a spot describing the prize, highlighting onscreen (http://youtu.be/sKMke13Jw58) the many natural attractions of the Treasure of the Mexican Pacific to an audience estimated to be more than the 8.6 million viewers the event had back in 2012.
 
“Through these cost-effective actions, especially when you compare the media reach generated versus our expenses in covering part of the airfare and the complementary hotel stay, the Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau sends out a strong signal that it is fully committed to achieve the objectives laid out by the People’s Governor, Roberto Sandoval, to attract tourism that benefits everyone in Nayarit,” said Marc Murphy, General Director of the CVB.

That Saturday the president of DIF Puerto Vallarta, Magaly Fregoso Ortiz, gave her first report of activities to about 600 people. Screens, a clown show and fireworks framed her speech in which the lack of infrastructure and a lack of motivation in the team with which she received the institution stood out.

She noted that so far there is a total of 47 thousand who have received support of some kind.
The year 2013 was listed by the DIF as the year of the children, its president said in her speech that they approached experts in abuse prevention and sexual abuse, in order to delve into the topics.

She talked about the creation of the Interagency Committee Against Human Trafficking, putting this town as the first in the state of Jalisco to conform it. In the month of October will be held the First Latin American Meeting against Human Trafficking headquartered in this city.
"We signed the AMBER Alert Protocol, being also the first municipality in the state to adhere, to follow the plan of action in cases of disappearance and abduction of minors, where there was also the participation of the Inter-institutional Committee against Human Trafficking, which successfully coached on strategies to follow this protocol", he emphasized.

Consuelo del Rosario González Jiménez, director of the agency, attended on behalf of the President of the DIF of Jalisco, Lorena Jassibe Arriaga de Sandoval.

The event was attended by about 600 people among whom was the mayor of Puerto Vallarta, Ramón Guerrero Martínez; the Vice Admiral Alberto Castillo Zarate of the 8th Naval District, Sara María Chávez, Medina volunteer of the DIF, Presidents of the DIF of Tonalá, Tlajomulco, Banderas Bay, Ayutla and former presidents of DIF Vallarta and Tlajomulco, representatives of business chambers CANACO and COPARMEX, associations, political and business figures.

The entrepreneur Hans Backhoff General Director of Monte Xanic visited Puerto Vallarta and was present at the Pairing Dinner that took place at the famous Café des Artistes Restaurant, where the chef and owner Thierry Blouet acknowledged the work that this distinguished wine-maker has made for 26 years,

The season of live opera broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera Company (Met) from New York begins at Teatro Vallarta starting on October 5, with the presentation of Eugene Onegin, of Tchaikovsky.

For this reason, and to invite the Vallartan public to be more interested in this genre, Teatro Vallarta will offer a free lecture entitled "Introduction to Opera" which will be taught by Paco Ojeda, editor of the magazine Vallarta Lifestyles. The conference will last 90 minutes and will be held on the premises of Teatro Vallarta (Uruguay 184, Col. December 5th) on Monday, September 30th at 6 pm in Spanish, and at 7:30 in English.

During the conference, Paco Ojeda will present a concise and readable analysis of how the opera has survived the passage of time through over 400 years of history, highlighting important dates and events.

Using various musical examples as a reference, Ojeda invited the audience to discover the charm of this musical genre. "The opera, like the tequila, has a trick," said the speaker.

"There are several ways to try it. Some are more friendly than others, and can help you enjoy opera as the unique experience it is".

Ojeda will also address the issue of live opera transmissions that Teatro Vallarta will offer during the 2013-2014 season (ten operas in total). In each of the transmissions, the speaker will give a brief introduction to each of the operas to be presented, which include the popular La Bohème by Puccini and Rossini's Cinderella, among others.

"Teatro Vallarta began airing the Saturdays of Met Opera last season," said Ojeda. "It would be wonderful if during the season that is about to begin more people became interested in enjoying a truly unique experience. Unfortunately, many people hear the word 'opera', and immediately imagine that it will be a long and boring show. The reality is different, and I hope to arouse the interest of the public through the conference".

Teatro Vallarta joins major theaters throughout Mexico, and the rest of the world, which transmit the opera performances live from the Met, using multiple high definition cameras, surround sound and cutting edge technology. Teatro Vallarta has a complete list of the operas to be transmitted from the Lincoln Center in New York, on its website, www.teatrovallarta.com.
