Travel to Puerto Vallarta by bus is also on the rise by 60%
During the first weekend of the December holidays, Puerto Vallarta registered a 60 percent increase in the flow of passengers by land.
The foregoing, with data obtained in the two existing bus terminals in this city, where departures of Vallarta residents who have left the city to spend these dates in some other destination in the country can also be observed.
The main area where passengers come from is El Bajío (Guanajuato and Queretaro, mainly), as well as other areas such as Aguascalientes and Zacatecas.
“This first weekend was good but it is expected to increase even more once the end of the year approaches,” explained Carolina Lanzaría Santana, manager of the Vallarta Plus line terminal.
The flow of passengers went from 1,200 to 2,000 daily, according to data from the bus terminal that agglomerates the land transportation.
“We come to spend a few days at the beach, get away from the cold and enjoy the sun,” said one of the tourists who came to the city from the state of Aguascalientes.
In the terminal, it was also possible to observe the flow of people seeking to leave the city, mainly people who live in Puerto Vallarta and seek to spend these festivities with their families in their places of origin.
“We are going to visit the family, the holidays are coming and it is time to be with loved ones,” said one of the passengers who was lining up to buy their tickets to leave the city.
According to estimates from the tourist authorities, Puerto Vallarta will register a full occupancy at the end of the year, after the sanitary restrictions of the coronavirus pandemic have been eliminated.
