On the last weekend, Puerto Vallarta received more than 50 thousand tourists that came to enjoy the different events that were held in the city, informed the director of Municipal Tourism, Carlos Gerard Guzmán.

“It was a good weekend for Puerto Vallarta. Including Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the hotels reported an average occupation of 90 percent, even some hotels of gran turismo reported an occupation of 100 percent, which was something favorable for the destination”, said the head of Tourism.

He added that the visitors who took advantage of the long weekend and the "Buen Fin", also enjoyed the Fishing Tournament, the Fourth International Concentration of Motorcyclists, the Gourmet Festival, the Vochomanía, among other events that were carried out.

In addition to the hotels, said Gerard Guzmán, the tourists went to the commercial strip, and made use of the taxi services, of the tourist guides, and the terrestrial and aquatic excursions, “for example, the Port Administration reports that there were nearly six thousand people who made tours in small vessels and nearly six thousand people made terrestrial tours, which represents roughly 20 percent of the tourists, of the more than 50 thousand tourists who arrived to the destination this weekend and participated in tours”.

It is noteworthy that for the regional director of Tourism of the northern coast of Jalisco, José Ludwig Estrada Virgen, the arrival of this important flow of tourism, especially national tourism, was an anticipation of what is coming for the winter season.

He assured that Puerto Vallarta has worked a lot in regards to promotion, especially hand in hand with Riviera Nayarit, under the umbrella of the joint promotion campaign supported by the Federal Ministry of Tourism (Sectur) and the Council of Tourist Promotion of Mexico (CPTM).

“In Puerto Vallarta, and in general in the Vallarta-Nayarit region, I think that we have a very good outlook for the coming winter season because a lot of work has been done and an intense, joint promotion campaign has been carried out with excellent results”, he pointed out.
