Puerto Vallarta real estate<\/a> <\/strong>slowed down considerably because of the global recession, then by the lull in tourism triggered by the swine flu travel advisory.\u00c2\u00a0 Although the global economic situation continues, Puerto Vallarta\u00c2\u00b4s resilient charm and beauty are bringing the tourists back again.\u00c2\u00a0 This is good news for\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Puerto Vallarta real estate<\/a><\/strong>, showing that the city\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s key industry is resilient and will continue to be strong.<\/p>\n

Among the good signs are that hotel occupancy in Puerto Vallarta is rising weekly.\u00c2\u00a0 There has been a slow increase in the percentage of visitors over the past several weeks which the industry hopes will be a positive sign for the Winter high season to come.\u00c2\u00a0 Several factors have played a role in this.\u00c2\u00a0 While tourism has been on an increase throughout Mexico, specific initiatives for this area have also had an impact.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Several initiatives were introduced to the area over the summer including a concert\u00c2\u00a0called the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Jalisco en Vivo\u00e2\u20ac\u009d concert which was held in Puerto Vallarta during this past summer.\u00c2\u00a0 The concert, which was planned with the primary goal of rebuilding tourism, attracted a local, national and international audience.\u00c2\u00a0 Among other factors, this concert helped the effort to slow down and eventually reverse the drop off of tourism; the week before the concert had seen a 14.3% decrease in hotel occupancy, while the weak of the concert felt less of an impact, with an 8.6% decrease.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0During the third week after the event, hotel occupancy has increased 5.7%.<\/p>\n

There is hope that the initial success of the concert will be repeated on as the concert is aired on T.V. throughout Mexico, Latin America, parts of the U.S. and some places in Europe.\u00c2\u00a0 The program received strong ratings on Mexican T.V., and the concert should continue to draw tourists\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 attention \u00e2\u20ac\u201c both Mexican and international – to Puerto Vallarta.<\/p>\n

Another program, this time on the state level, is giving free guided tours and excursions from Guadalajara.\u00c2\u00a0 These program includes 40 destinations of the state\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 11 main tourist destinations (including Puerto Vallarta), offering 120 excursions for more than 5000 tourists.\u00c2\u00a0 The trips include transportation and guided tours, and were offered until the end of\u00c2\u00a0August.\u00c2\u00a0 The program\u00c2\u00a0was promoted in over 60 information booths, and has seen an investment of about 1,200,000 pesos.\u00c2\u00a0 Although the focus of this program is local tourism, the presence of more tourists will support tourist based businesses in areas entirely dependent on this industry, helping to boost the industry while international tourism continues to rise.<\/p>\n

These and other factors are helping tourism in Puerto Vallarta, the city\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s main industry, move upward again, and quickly. \u00c2\u00a0Those interested in Puerto Vallarta real estate<\/a><\/strong> will see this as a good sign, as we wait for the global recession to turn around.<\/p>\n
