Puerto Vallarta Reports Increase in Tourist Arrivals

Mexico’s Ministry of Tourism has reported that Puerto Vallarta had 1,129,649 hotel room occupancies from January to May 2013, which marks an 8 percent increase from last year. Due to improvements in the destination’s access points and infrastructure, an ambitious promotional campaign and the success achieved in the first semester, Puerto Vallarta predicts an 80 percent hotel occupancy rate and $78.6 million outpour into the local economy during the rest of the summer. www.visitpuertovallarta.com
