Summer in Puerto Vallarta, Maybe Not the “Slow Season” for Long.

Travelers are realizing the great savings and fun that can be had in Puerto Vallarta during off-peak tourist months.

So far this summer nearly 400,000 tourists have visited Puerto Vallarta, both national and international travelers. This represents an increase of 15% compared to the same period last year.

Carlos Gernard, Director of Tourisim in Puerto Vallarta, said that hotels in the area have averaged a 90% occupancy rate.

Also restaurants, taxi drivers, tour guides, merchants, and others who depend on tourisim have reported higher receipts in the 2014 summer.

The numbers are helped by an increase in tourists . . .
