The XII National Clean Beaches Convention will take place from June 22-25, 2016 at the Paradise Village hotel in Nuevo Vallarta in the Riviera Nayarit’s municipality of Bahía de Banderas.

The Riviera Nayarit is hosting the event and the timing couldn’t be more perfect, as it recently obtained the first certification as a Clean Tourism Destination for Nuevo Vallarta and last year La Cruz de Huanacaxtle’s Marina Riviera Nayarit received the first Blue Flag Award ever given to a marina, among other environmental acknowledgments.

Over one thousand expected attendees—who currently make up the 39 committees established in the 17 states of the Republic divided among 64 tourism destinations—will register on Wednesday June 22nd. There are four workshops are programmed for Thursday, June 23rd, all of which will run from 10 a.m. through 7 p.m.

The grand inauguration is on June 24th when the certificates for the clean beaches and the Blue Flag will be legalized. Roberto Sandoval, Governor of Nayarit, and José Gómez, Mayor of Bahía de Banderas, are hosting the event. Discussion panels and keynote addresses will be held from that date on through Saturday, June 25th.

This magnificent event will be led by the Federal Government with the presence of the heads of different offices including the Ministry of Tourism (Sectur, by its acronym in Spanish), the Ministry of the Navy (Semar), the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat), the National Water Commission (Conagua), and the Environmental Division of the Federal Attorney’s Office (Profepa), among others.
