Tepic - According to the official data made available on the Internet by the Federal Tourism Secretariat, Nayarit holds first place as a tourist destination and received a certificate of recognition as the best destination in 2009.
Thanks to an investment of approximately 700 million dollars in private tourist infrastructure and the administration of Governor Ney González Sánchez, Nayarit houses more accommodation establishments and recreational alternatives for national and international tourists. The Under-Secretary of Tourism, Mario Basulto Mares, said that in 2010 they expect to increase the number of destinations, particularly in the Riviera Nayarit.
"In order to accomplish it, we need to review the unregistered accommodation alternatives, as is the case of Sayulita, a town that does not have any Gran Turismo hotels but does have over 25 boutique hotels with a capacity from 15 to 30 suites resulting on a tourist population of over 4,500 who can enjoy the beaches and surf as well as extreme sports at the Ranch 'Mi Chaparrita," he said.
Basulto stated that during the end of year period, the 74,000 visitors they expect will spend over 1 billion pesos. |
