Riviera Nayarit to Add Three Hotels Before 2014

Earlier this year, the Mexico Tourism Board kicked off its $10 million advertising campaign to educate travelers about Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit. Tourism representatives from Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit were on location in New York City last week to talk about what's new in the destinations for 2014. Travel Agent was on hand at a press briefing and is reporting to you with the scoop.

To date in 2013, an investment of $70 million has been poured into Riviera Nayarit to develop new hotels along the coast. Through the end of 2013 and into 2014, travelers to Riviera Nayarit are in for the opening of three new hotels.
