This ambitious remodeling and beautification plan also includes the regulation of public transportation, sale of alcohol in permitted establishments only, and standardized bar and nightclub schedules.
According to Diaz Borioli, the marketing of Puerto Vallarta's downtown has to be reinvented to cope with the increasingly popular destinations in neighboring Nayarit state such as Bucerias and La Cruz de Huanacaxtle.
Diaz Borioli expects that not only the downtown area will benefit during his three-year period of government. The tourism director said that he will also work to further progress in expanding the new Rio Pitillal park, the city's entrance avenue, and the necessary infrastructure in areas surrounding Puerto Vallarta's new convention center.
Jose Luis Diaz Borioli was in charge of this same department three years ago for a period of one year and eight months. He has also chaired the Hotel and Motel Association. "I have the necessary experience and understand the importance of tourism in Puerto Vallarta," he stated.
