The Secretary of Tourism of Nayarit indicated that these two days of the Riviera Nayarit-Puerto Vallarta Gala will reflect the effort that is made every day to position this region, with a vision of both governments to improve security, cleaning of the beaches, the structuring of nautical stairs to connect the destination by sea, among other aspects, in addition to improving the living conditions of workers who serve tourism.
