Riviera Nayarit is looking ahead at 2010 with growth in number of monthly visitors based on hotel occupancy, new hotel openings in 2010 and beyond, as well as impressive accolades as a top destination in Mexico.
Strong hotel occupancy results for the first months of the year, state support for tourism, upcoming hotel openings, as well as powerful tourism investment will create a favorable environment for the continuous development and tourism appeal of the region.
Below are highlights of Riviera Nayarit’s achievements as top destination in Mexico and the world:
• Among top 10 destinations in the world to visit in 2010 – “Hideaways International”
• Riviera Nayarit has the second highest number of properties with five AAA Diamond Awards in contrast with other Mexican regions
• Best beach destination in Mexico – “Travel Weekly”
• Inclusion among the top five destinations in the world for second home purchase – “International Property Journal”
• National leadership in the certification of beaches for their quality – according to Greenpeace
• Second strongest Mexican state in second home purchases – “Haute Living”
Occupancy statistics for January-March 2010:
• • 95% occupancy level for Easter Week, March 29-April 4
• • Strong occupancy for early 2010, with noticeable increase in March 2010 (76.59%) over January (72.88%) and February 2010 (75.37%)
Construction on new hotels is underway including top brands such as Park Hyatt, Capella, Grupo Vidanta, Iberostar and Grand Hyatt over the next two years.
“Riviera Nayarit is a relatively new destination launched at Tianguis in 2007 with the full support of Nayarit’s governor, Ney Gonzalez, and the entire tourism industry in Nayarit and around the world,” said Marc Murphy, Director of the Riviera Nayarit CVB. “We are excited that 2010 has started so well. In January, we already received strong accolades from major publications, such as Sherman’s Travel placing Riviera Nayarit on their 2010 Best Value List and Destination Weddings & Honeymoons’ naming it amongst the “48 Stunning Locales.”
Murphy added, “We have strong expectations for 2010.”
Over the past few months, Nayarit welcomed a series of outstanding nautical and other sports events that have drawn a large number of participants, spectators and media coverage on a worldwide level. For the Nautical Extravaganza events which took place at the new Marina in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle from February 26 to March 17, organizers expected 600 participants and there were 2500 for the first year of this exciting event. That included national and international regattas, beach volleyball tournaments, surfing competitions and the Latin American Boat Show.
In addition, Riviera Nayarit is top of the mind for the world market through such events as the International Sayulita Surfing Competition, the LPGA Duramed Futures golf tour and the Canadian Golf Tour, as well as the production of the 2011 Swimsuit Calendar for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. All these events, and the ones that are yet to come this year, draw hundreds of participants and visitors from all over the world who come year after year to enjoy the beautiful beaches, superb accommodations, fine restaurants and marvelous natural adventures that the region has to offer.
