Nayarit To Host Gala Riviera Nayarit & Puerto Vallarta

The Gala Riviera Nayarit & Puerto Vallarta travel and tourism industry event will take place on Feb. 16 and Feb. 17 at Nayarit’s VIDANTA convention centre.

The event aims to foster networking opportunities between international and national wholesalers and operators and the local infrastructure of the state of Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.

This includes two days of pre-established B2B appointments, property site visits, events, media interviews, meeting planner visits, and a special tour of the state by a delegation of Mexican Consulates which now oversee Mexico’s tourism promotions.

This year, the trade event will be hosted by the state of Nayarit and the state’s Ministry of Tourism, headed by Juan Enrique Suárez del Real Tostado, and will also be part of the state’s new promotional campaign which aims to enhance tourism to the Riviera Nayarit and expand tourism to the entire state via its cultural and historical offerings.

Some of the topics the Ministry will be promoting are its infrastructure with many new properties expected to open in 2023 and the expansion of its airport (TPQ), Costa Canuva’s Lorena Ochoa and Greg Norman-design golf course, and Mandarina’s eco-friendly Polo Club.
