Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – In a significant mobilization effort, Puerto Vallarta, alongside the neighboring municipality of Bahía de Banderas in Nayarit, has officially commenced a comprehensive Security and Relief Operation in anticipation of the Holy Week holiday period. This large-scale initiative is aimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of both local residents and the anticipated influx of tourists to the region.
As of this Friday, the operation has been set into motion, marked by a ceremonial start on the esplanade of the “Agustín Flores Contreras” sports unit. This strategic response brings together over a thousand personnel spanning more than a dozen different corporations, alongside civil and military organizations from municipal, state, and federal levels.
The authorities of Puerto Vallarta and Bahía de Banderas have stressed the importance of maintaining stringent surveillance across various locales, including roads, beaches, and recreational centers. The primary goal is to uphold the security of all individuals in the area during the bustling two-week period, which is expected to see a significant surge in visitor numbers.
The operation, as outlined by Gerardo Castillón Andrade, the director of Civil Protection and Firefighters, aims to achieve a ‘white balance’ – a term indicating a period without major incidents. To facilitate comprehensive beach surveillance, the strategy includes the establishment of an operational base complemented by five sub-bases strategically positioned along the Vallarta coastline.
The preparation for this holiday period extends beyond safety measures, indicating a readiness to welcome and accommodate the needs of large numbers of tourists. “We are ready to receive them,” stated Castillón Andrade, highlighting the regions’ preparedness to manage the expected influx of visitors effectively.
This coordinated effort underscores the commitment of both Puerto Vallarta and Bahía de Banderas to ensuring the holiday period is both enjoyable and safe for everyone. Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to adhere to safety guidelines and cooperate with local authorities to facilitate a peaceful and incident-free Holy Week.
