Puerto Vallarta still has high tourist occupancy rates in June

Christian Salvador Preciado Cázares, city director of tourism and economic development, reported that Puerto Vallarta has a weekend occupancy rate of 95% on average, and that some hotels in the city were even full for the long weekend due to the celebration of Jalisco’s bicentennial.

The city official noted that the hotels catering to the adult market have been at 65 to 70% hotel occupancy, so he considered that this city has been recording excellent numbers. It is expected that hotels will close at 90% this month, especially those that receive more families.

Preciado Cázares emphasized that throughout the month, a variety of events and congresses were held in the city, aiding in the maintenance of hotel occupancy.

Puerto Vallarta came in third place with an occupancy rate of 71.4% from the fifth to the eleventh of this month, according to Datatur’s federal platform, which is in charge of tracking Mexico’s top tourist destinations. This is a 2.4% decrease from the same time last year.

Los Cabos took first place with 76.6%, 3.5% more than the previous year, and Cancun came in second with 72.3%, 7.2% less than in 2022 during the same time period.

It is important to note that some hotel managers in Puerto Vallarta have claimed that occupancy rates have been high on average over the past six months because domestic and international travelers’ confidence has fully recovered. These travelers traveled during holidays, long weekends, and weekends.

Alvaro Garciarce Monraz, president of the Puerto Vallarta Association of Hotels and Motels, had stated in recent weeks that this industry was prepared to receive events, groups, and conventions during the summer and thus continue to maintain higher occupancy rates than last year; even though this destination no longer leads the first place at a national level, according to the Datatur platform.
