Riviera Nayarit was able to present all the wonderful reasons for vacationing at their destination to thousands of travel agents. The Apple Vacations Trade Show in Chicago presented a great opportunity to promote tourism in Riviera Nayarit.

Apple Vacations, founded in 1969, is one of the first travel Charter companies established in North America and the first in creating "All inclusive" packages. Its founders saw a significant business opportunity offering the opportunity to vacation in exotic destinations at a fraction of the cost involved through traditional airlines. At that time, traveling internationally was considered a luxury. Today, Apple Vacations has helped create a culture of travel with quality at affordable prices.

For over 40 years, Apple Vacations has been considered a leader in this market, with more than two thousand employees and offices in 20 U.S. cities. That is why Riviera Nayarit sought to establish a relationship with Apple Vacations, and that relationship has proven to be an important asset in attracting tourists to Riviera Nayarit.

During last week's Trade Show, Riviera Nayarit had the opportunity to present all the competitive advantages that the destination can deliver, where luxury is combined with natural scenery of exceptional beauty, to the thousands of travel agents in attendance.

Some of the hotels presented were Dreams Villamagna, Marival Suites & Resort and Residences Marival, Palladium Resort & Spa, Occidental Allegro, Riu Palace, Vallarta Palace, Villa Palmar Flamingos and Villa La Estancia.

During the Trade Show, Apple Vacations gave the distinctive Crystal Award, offered based on the comments that the company receives from their clients about the quality of tourist products. Hotel Riu Palace Pacific Riviera Nayarit was awarded best all-inclusive hotel by the warmth of the service that their staff has provided.

Recognition was given by the President of the Council of Directors of Apple Vacations, Chris Mullen, and received by the Vice President of Contracts and Marketing of the Caribbean, Pacific, Mexico and Florida of Riu Hotels, Álvaro de Haro.

The intensive work of promoting the Office Of Visitors and Conventions (OVC) in Riviera Nayarit is possible thanks to the strong support of the Governor of the State, Ney González Sánchez, who has placed the tourism as a priority activity for economic development entity and, of course, to work together with the Council of Tourism Promotion (CPTM) and the Secretary of Tourism of the Federal Government, led by Gloria Guevara Manzo.
