The number of operations in Aerotron has been sustained

The businessman Enrique Tron confirmed an increase in the arrival of luxury tourism to Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit

High income U.S. tourism that uses the Aerotron facilities is located at 17 percent above last year and the national tourism is at 24 percent over 2012, according to the latest figures from the summer, which represents the arrival of 70 aircraft per month with families that stay at least one week

This is a good sign of the recovery of premium tourism of this region. According to the director of Aerotron, Captain Enrique Tron Berengue, this segment is in a sustained phase of growth, not at the pace that is desired but in a continuous fashion, which allows to harbor expectations that Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit continue to be a desired destination for affluent visitors.

According to the president of the Association of Banderas Bay, travelers arriving to this region are realizing that the region is unsafe and sometimes can be more insecure than Los Angeles, for example.

LODGING AND ATTRACTIONS

Tourists are attracted by the natural beauty, the wide choice of activities as well as golf courses, hotels, resorts and condos with a great location and a great service like the ones located in Punta Mita, plus the safety and discretion that is offered in this region.

He said that for private aviation, the recent year of summer 2012 to date, has been much better than previous years in which the decline of visitors was continuous. Now there is a clear trend towards recovery of air activity which impacts directly on luxury hotel occupancy and in a strong economic flow in between a select group of service providers.

Regarding the joint promotion of Puerto Vallarta-Riviera Nayarit, the businessman said that it is a great idea launched by the federal government in collaboration with local tourism authorities, for the visitors themselves indicate that this region has unity, downtown Vallarta is enjoyed the same as the beaches of Riviera Nayarit.

CONSUMER HABITS

It should be mentioned that many of the visitors who come to the Aerotron facilities are headed toward one of the main five diamond hotels in the region such as the Four Seasons or the St. Regis, although there are those who already have property, houses or condominiums in Banderas Bay.

Their habits include hours of golf in one of the fields of Riviera Nayarit; lunch or dinner in a restaurant in the center of Puerto Vallarta; visits to boutiques and jewelry stores; rent of boats for outings or fishing trips; or if they have children or teenagers the picture is expanded to surf or paddle classes, and some trips around the bay.

He added that what stands out, is that the promotion of this region continues among various segments and media of the United States and Canada, because that way it maintains its presence in the minds of consumers. In the same way, it is relevant that the highest level of tourism services is maintained, because the luxury tourism segment is used to receiving the highest standards of quality, and that is something that results in greater economic benefit.

They will hold an international meeting at the Convention Center

For the first time members of the Heavy Oil Latin America will meet in a destination of the Mexican Pacific

Next September, 900 businessmen and ministers of the oil industry members of the Heavy Oil Latin America (HOLA) will meet at the International Convention Center of Puerto Vallarta.

This was reported by Patricia Farías Barlow, general manager of the Convention Center of this city, who noted that "it is the first time that employers and oil ministers meet in the region of the Pacific coast. This is a global event for which we have fought for four years", she said.

She said that this meeting of worldwide oilmen is just as important or more so than the Tianguis Turistico held two years ago in Puerto Vallarta.

"Nine hundred entrepreneurs are gathered here from the oil industry, energy ministers from the South American countries that have demonstrated success in the production and management of their non-renewable energy resources".

The event is international, it annually moves from one country to another, and in Mexico, all of them have been organized in the states of the Gulf of Mexico, said Patricia Farías.

"The HOLA meeting for this year, was originally scheduled for Cancun, but for the past four years we have worked to bring it to Puerto Vallarta and we have succeeded," she said.

She estimated that the presence of 900 businessmen and ministers of the oil industry is an advertising "plus" for Puerto Vallarta, due to the wide dissemination that is going to occur in the presence of the media coming to this destination.

The huge amount of information that is going to be produced at times in which Mexico decides to make reforms that are signed in the "Pact for Mexico" promoted by the government of President Enrique Peña Nieto.

The major topics that will be covered will also attract a lot of media from around the world to Puerto Vallarta. It is a commitment of local and state authorities, to present a city that is clean, friendly, safe and connected with roads that show that this destination is one of the best of Mexico.

Asked about the subject, the president of the Coparmex, Arnulfo Ortega pointed out that everyone is working so that employers and oil ministers leave with a good impression of Puerto Vallarta.

He said that it is the first major event after the Tianguis Turistico. More events of this nature should be brought here.

A Look At The Cruise Business

 A study of the Universidad del Caribe published in 2012 and developed by a team of researchers from that school led by their principal, the teacher Arturo Escaip Manzur, makes us aware of the situation of the cruise industry, in addition to the tourism industry at a worldwide level. *

In 2010, the North American cruise industry generated resources for 28 trillion dollars, representing an increase of 8.8% with respect to 2009. That year, cruise ships transported 14.82 million passengers, an increase of 10.3%. The installed capacity grew 5.4% in vessels and 8.1% in beds and its capacity was higher than 100.0%. The only item that fell in 2009 was the earnings per passenger.

Two corporate companies engross the market: Carnival and Royal Caribbean. In 2011 both controlled 82.0% of the passengers/night. Carnival with 7 cruise lines had 54.0% and Royal Caribbean with three lines 28.0%.

The market competition occurs primarily through product differentiation. In 2009, the 17 cruise lines offered 619 different products combining the ship, the theme, the port of departure and the destination. One hundred an nine boats participated, 59 ports, 15 destinations, and the travel time was 1 to 30 nights.

Cruise trips to the Caribbean are the most common in the North American market. In 2011, the 20 existing cruise lines had 15 destinations, of which 6 are in the Caribbean and one is specific of Mexico. In the case of Mexico, there are 15 cruise destinations. The most important of the country is Cozumel, which occupies one of the top positions in the world ranking of cruise ports. This ranking is based on the volume of passenger traffic. In June 2012, the Port of Miami Cruise topped the ranking in the world because it received more than 4 million passengers in 2011.

The cruises have focused on the mass market of medium or economic level with an average or low duration. The most frequent trips with an extension of less than 6 days. Trips lasting more than nine days that demand higher-income people have a relatively minor importance.

<From this the socio-económico profile of the cruise passengers can be deduced and their low spending on land destinations>.

The main source of income of cruises, exemplified with Carnival Corporation in 2011, comes from the tickets for the cruise with 77.0%. The income generated on board is derived from the sale of beverages, boutique purchases, laundry , photography services, hairdressing, massages and phones, accounting for 21.0%. The tours <with land activities> are optional and generate 2.0%. Carnival Corporation had revenues of 17.793 million U.S. dollars in 2011, 9.5% more than in 2010.

<As a reference point for these giants, Mexico had revenues of approximately 11 billion dollars from foreign tourism>

As for utilities, Carnival, which controls about 40.0% of the market share of the Caribbean, registers annual earnings in the last three years, for close to two billion dollars. <Carnival is a listed company and its financial statements are published by law>

<The tourism balance of Mexico, considering the tourism revenues and expenditures of Mexican tourists abroad, amount to about four billion dollars annually>

As for the origin of the cruise passengers, it is mainly from the United States, which contributes with 61.0% of the demand for the service. Next in importance are the passengers from the United Kingdom with 9.0%, Germany 7.0%, Italy with 5.0% and Canada and Spain with 4.0%.

The cost of travel for cruise tourists has decreased. In 2011, the spending of $1,790 dollars was lower by 4.5% than in 2009. In that same year the cruise price at $ 1,326 U.S. dollars was 6.2% lower than in 2008; the spending on the cruise ship and at the destinations was $464 U.S. dollars, almost the same as in 2008; and the costs of air travel of $376 was 13.2% less than in 2008. In 2011, the passengers spent 61.0% of their budget on the cruise: 22.0% for consumption on board and at the destinations, and 17% in airfare.

Due to their operating characteristics, the cruise industry is in a position of competitive advantage to the hotel industry. This competitiveness has various aspects: its highly oligopolistic corporate situation, the high technological development of its design and planning processes of their services to satisfy customers with diverse interests by constantly innovating, and its non-territoriality, allowing them to evade any tax, labor and environmental regulations when it suits them. <The Captain of a ship can theoretically kick its staff with impunity because it is not subject to any territorial law>

The cruises are depreciating assets but have no surplus value, like hotels. Their greatest advantage is that they usually sail under the most convenient flags from countries without harsh tax laws. In exchange for lacking surplus value, their competitive advantage is that they don't pay taxes and they provide minimum wage conditions. <They don't respect labor laws> in comparison to hotels.

They exploit economies of scale to stock and make a "pool" or joint shopping. To be mobile, they can take advantage of offers and shop at different ports, depending on their requirements. <It's the reason for which they don't buy in Mexico>.

They are not affected by seasons, adverse political situations, devaluations, epidemics and so on, because they move their boats to the friendly and hospitable seas of the moment. <To the needy, you could add>

They can change their home-port whenever they want and flexibly modify the duration of the trip and the services offered on board, according to the economic capacity of the passengers.

They defend themselves from the destination ports, saying that tourists often return to it for a longer stay. According to the Cruise Lines International Association, about 50.0% of passengers would return on another vacation to the destinations.

They are since recently, destinations in themselves, as they promote tours to nowhere to sell travel from a few hours to a few days. They use low quality fuel to lower costs.

There is a vertical and horizontal integration of the business. The travel and wholesale travel agencies are in the same group and offer integrated services, since they promote and sell the cruise travel, air travel, stay on land, car rental, guided tours, tickets for shows and museums.

The cash flow from the Mexican cruises are an insignificant portion of the national GDP. This industry does not pay taxes does not create jobs, and does not promote local development because it concentrates purchases from passengers in some businesses to establish preliminary negotiations. Therefore, their companies are not socially responsible. While the tourism sector contributes 7.8% to the national GDP the cruises only generate 0.04%. In the case of Puerto Vallarta the cruise passenger spending, estimated in a good year as it was in 2008, doesn't even reach 0.5% of the tourism revenue of the city. The trickle from spending is centralized in a small sector of services that gravitates around the harbor and inhibits a necessary distribution in the downtown area which barely survives for lack of customers.

With the help of the Ministry of Economic Development 400 businesses will benefit

Mauricio Ferrer. - The State Council for Economic Development (CEPE) yesterday launched a program of 35 million pesos in grants for entrepreneurs of micro-and small enterprises.

"It is not a gift, it's purpose is to generate more and better jobs," said the Secretary of Economic Development of the State Government, José Palacios Jiménez.

The director of CEPE, Luis Enrique Reynoso Vilches, explained that the 35 million fund was made possible thanks to a program that the previous administration developed with the National Foreign Trade Bank (Bancomext) to support exporters.
He explained that during the handover process between the previous government and the current it was detected that some resources had been recovered which could conform the new fund for entrepreneurs and micro and small businesses.
"It's a recovery fund with Bancomext. Within the handover process we spotted this fund, we consulted with Bancomext, and we saw that the program had served its purpose, the necessary arrangements were made and Bancomext approved the return of the resource", according to Reynoso.

With 35 million, both CEPE and the Ministry of Economic Development (Sedeco) of Jalisco intend to benefit 400 companies.

Reynoso Vilches explained that the program seeks to support productive projects that have a regional impact in strategic sectors such as automotive, gourmet, information technology, furniture and decor, creative industry, the green energy alternatives, biotechnology and rural tourism.

Those wishing to compete for the resources of that millionaire fund must submit them within a period not exceeding 30 days, via the Internet at www.cepe-emprendedores.org-a project in any of the two categories (entrepreneurs and micro and small companies).

In the category "Entrepreneurs" applicants must demonstrate that their projects have a regional, sectoral or local impact. The same requirement will be for those who compete in "Micro and Small Companies", but they must also ensure that their projects are integrated into a production chain and accompanied by a letter of support from the municipality.

Each applicant may request funds for any of the seven categories in which the supports are distributed. Candidates may compete for funds either for training, professional services, machinery and equipment production, productive infrastructure, computer equipment, software and marketing.

The CEPE director said that the program will be shielded against corruption and that the applicants may only submit an online registration without any direct contact with public agency officials.

The support in the category of "Entrepreneurs" will be of up to 75 thousand dollars, and in the "Micro and small companies", the amount will be of up to 150 thousand pesos.

"There will not be a support of 100% , the project should be completed with our own resources", added Reynoso.

After 30 days, when the convocation ends, a technical committee will evaluate each project in the 15 following days and will decide which companies will be deserving of support.

Two weeks after the end of the summer holiday period, Puerto Vallarta has exceeded expectations both in hotel occupancy and in economic benefit, said Carlos Gerard Guzman, municipal tourism director.

In this respect, he explained that not only the goals set before the holiday season of the school year were met but they were surpassed, considering that the scheduled occupancy was only of 80 percent and that, based on the existing reservations for this holiday period, up to now they have reported between 90 and 100 percent.

Which he asserted is certainly favorable for the destination as he remembered that when a hotel registers these occupancy rates, not only the establishment benefits but also shops, restaurants, bars and service providers in the destiny, who make a living thanks to the presence of tourists.

In this regard, he noted that according to information provided by Saul Lopez, vice president of the Association of Small Vessels, last week there was an occupancy that was superior to those presented even at Easter, this is between 700 and 2000 passengers daily.

"In 2012 the boats moved about 500 thousand tourists and this means 15 percent of all tourists who visit Puerto Vallarta, be it air, land or sea, and this is a good number because it means that both domestic and foreign tourists come and participate in all of the activities there is to do".

As for land tours, he said there are about 400 thousand tourists who access them by year and from January to June 30th of this year there are already 253 thousand people.

At the same time, he said, they will be negotiating with the neighboring town of Cabo Corrientes with which the bay is shared. This is due to that tourists also visit its beaches, among others, Las Animas, Quimixto Majahuitas and Yelapa, which can only be accessed via a small boat.

"It is very important to maintain communication with them, along with a joint promotion, for when the tourist lives a positive or negative experience, they don't say that it happened in Yelapa in the X service provider company, but instead they say that it happened in Vallarta, and thus it is vital to maintain a constant communication with them. "

In this context, in relation to the economic flow that this summer holiday period has represented, Gerard Guzman noted that next week there will be a decline of tourists in the destination and there will be hotel occupations of 70 percent and others will decrease to 50 percentage points.

However, he asserted that certainly the economic flow of a billion of pesos that was projected there would be in Puerto Vallarta was surpassed, which he insisted, "is made ​​based on an average occupancy of 80 percent and this figure was also exceeded".

Thus he clarified that if you take into account that there are about 23 thousand rooms in Puerto Vallarta and there are 18 thousand rooms occupied per day on average , with three people in each, and with an approximate value of 2 thousand 500 pesos, ie 750 pesos per night and an average spending per person, per day, of 650 pesos.

Finally on whether there was the presence of tourism of high affluence, the director of municipal tourism said that it is difficult to measure, although he noted that the hotels that recorded the highest occupancies were those of five stars and great tourism, and that it was a favorable indicator that the rates weren't low.
