I admit to some apprehension before my recent trip to Riviera Nayarit, midway down Mexico's Pacific coast. But from the start, the concerns many of us may feel about travel to Mexico were quickly put to rest, in spectacular fashion. I felt completely safe at all times, the food was inventive and delicious and the accommodations, spas and service were among the finest I've ever experienced. Even the golf was world class.

A partir de las últimas semanas, Puerto Vallarta ha empezado a vivir un ambiente distinto con eventos de gran magnitud que se ha estado llevando a cabo en nuestro destino turístico, en foros como el Centro Internacional de Convenciones (CIC) y diversos hoteles de la ciudad.

Para el próximo año, Vallarta será sede del Foro Económico Mundial (WEF) por sus siglas en inglés, el cual está programado para realizarse durante el mes de abril en el CIC, esperando recibir a mil 500 personas de 150 países, lo que sin duda será una importante derrama económica para Puerto Vallarta, además de representar una importante plataforma para realizar una excelente promoción turística.
Para la realización de este evento será necesario efectuar algunas mejoras en la infraestructura vial del Centro Internacional de Convenciones de Puerto Vallarta, que abarcan desde la señalética hasta la incursión de transporte público (camiones) a esa área.
Pocas semanas después se viene el Tianguis Turístico, así que las mejoras que se hagan para el WEF se aprovecharán al máximo en el evento de turismo más importante de México, en el que se tendrá una presencia de más de dos mil 400 vendedores y compradores de mercado turístico y más de 450 empresas de 20 países.
El secretario de Promoción Económica de Jalisco, Alonso Ulloa Vélez, recordó “hace 10 años se empezaba a soñar en un gran Centro de Convenciones que permitiera que no sólo tuviera turismo de sol y playa, sino que pudiera jalar grandes eventos internacionales y hoy lo vemos, tenemos infraestructura y una industria hotelera de primera calidad”.
También declaró que la promoción de Vallarta como destino turístico de negocios es continua, de manera que ya se ha logrado obtener la sede del WEF y actualmente también está en disputa por albergar la Reunión del G-20 en el 2012.
