PUERTO VALLARTA (PVDN) – Local hoteliers are bracing for a robust end-of-year surge in tourist arrivals, a welcome boost following a challenging summer season. Álvaro Garci-arce Monraz, the president of Puerto Vallarta’s Hotel and Motel Association, shared an optimistic outlook for the coming months.
“We faced a challenging summer, deviating from our expectations. However, while September has traditionally been a tough month, we are witnessing a notable uptick in our reservations. The end of the year promises to be rewarding for Puerto Vallarta,” Monraz said.
In a surprising twist, the high tourism season may kick off earlier than usual. According to Monraz, “We’re already seeing significant reservations for October. Notably, major Canadian and American tourists start seasonal visits from October onwards. I believe this bodes well for the foreign tourism sector in Puerto Vallarta this year.”
Since the conclusion of 2022, Puerto Vallarta has cemented its reputation as a premier beach destination on national and international levels. This popularity has been sustained throughout the current year. Despite present occupancy rates hovering around 65 percent, the yearly average has consistently exceeded 80 percent. There have even been instances of hotels being fully booked.
This optimistic projection for Puerto Vallarta’s tourism is a testament to its enduring allure among domestic and international travelers. With the potential early onset of the high season, businesses and locals are gearing up to welcome an influx of visitors eager to experience the city’s charm.
