Riviera Nayarit is a privileged destination not only because of its beaches, which extend over 180 miles, but also because of its natural environment, which makes it one of the preferred destinations for sport fishing enthusiasts. Its world-class infrastructure, and its readily available services allow visitors to enjoy magical experiences and fun family vacations.

The Convention and Visitors Bureau of Riviera Nayarit has defined the events and conventions segment as a priority within the framework of promotion for our destination, as it realizes that these contribute directly to selling hotel nights and in accomplishing the objectives defined by the State Government headed by Roberto Sandoval, in order to attract tourism to benefit the people of Nayarit.
