Puerto Vallarta Getting Ready for Holy Week

Puerto Vallarta, Jal.- With a series of reinforcement work, such as cleaning, renovation of public places like highways, natural areas, rivers, streams, and beaches, Puerto Vallarta is getting ready for what will be the first vacation period in 2015: Holy Week and Easter Week, which this year will be from March 29 to April 12.

Oscar Perez, General Director of Tourism, informed that after walking around Francisco Medina Ascencio Boulevard, they saw things needed some work and improvement. So, they instructed a team of workers from Public work to repair things that were damaged, such broken benches, remove risky objects, trim trees and collect the garbage accumulated in the area.

He also said that work is also being done at the beaches and other water places like in the Centre Zone and the tourist strip, since these are the more susceptible areas and the most visited by tourists. It is mandatory for these places to be in the best possible conditions.

The civil servant went on to say that with all these things being done; one can be certain that Puerto Vallarta is getting ready, the best way it can, to initiate the first vacation period. During the month of March there is also the long week end of the 21st. A super busy month for the hotels is expected.

“Tourists need to find a home, clean and in good condition; that’s why cleaning work started several months ago; the team has been working every weekend. Civil servants and the community in general have been working together for this purpose”.

As for the work being done on Francisco Medina Ascencio Boulevard, unnecessary cables on some light post are being taken away, benches, drainage, sewer and other similar urban elements which we have seen as a risk to drivers and pedestrians, are being fixed.

The first stage of these work should be finished a week before Holy Week; but work will continue as soon as vacation period is over.

“We understand this kind of work should be an ongoing job, and that is why we are asking the working team to continue doing their jobs. We will always be on the alert making sure the main avenue; the beaches and the tourist strip do not deteriorate”.

He said that to all of the above, we should add the “Clean Beach” certificate which was awarded to Holiday Inn Beach. This comes to show that working together towards specific and clear goals, produces good results. It is up to the citizens to maintain the beach as nice as when the flag, indicating “Clean Beach Certified”, was raised.
