Preliminary data shows hotel occupancy was at 90% over the weekend, or about 22,000 occupied rooms, according to the Department of Tourism.
Domestic tourism from Mexican nationals who received a three day weekend added to the already expected American and Canadian travelers who frequent the area during the fall and winter months.
After experiencing several days of rain before the weekend, the weather broke and offered tourists sunny skies and a great opportunity to experience the recreational activities available in Puerto Vallarta.
Also helping boost tourism over the weekend was the International Gourmet Festival, Buen Fin weekend, and the closing of the Sailfish and Marlin Fishing Tournament.
The Director General of the Hotel Association says he expects higher tourism between now and the closing of the year compared to the closing weeks of 2013.
Puerto Vallarta will host the International Fireworks Festival and the Vallarta-Nayarit Classic Rock Festival during these closing weeks of 2014.
