RIVIERA NAYARIT, Mexico – Riviera Nayarit, Mexico’s fastest growing
new tourism destination is having no trouble living up to its newfound
reputation as one of the most sought after luxury vacation spots in
Mexico. With major international brands as well as trusted, high-end
domestic companies investing heavily in the region, the national and
regional government is providing strong support, environment
protection and investment, including ambitious infrastructure
projects. The destination partnership, plus the region’s perfect
setting on the Pacific Ocean, incredible beaches and breathtaking
natural beauty, is getting the attention of world travelers.
Among the latest developments happening in Riviera Nayarit:
Riviera Nayarit is building a new, comprehensive highway system.
Construction has begun on a major, multi-million dollar road building
project designed to provide modern infrastructure to strengthen the
region’s tourism industry. Involving nine road segments between Tepic
and Bucerias as well as viaducts and 40 bridges, the system will
positively impact at least 44 high-level tourism developments,
including six golf courses and four marinas. According to Ney Gonzalez
Sanchez, governor of the state of Nayarit, the first segment of
highway will be built between Tepic and San Blas, a stretch of 21
miles that will shorten driving time to about 20 minutes.
