- The most recent certification was given to the Laguna Santa María del Oro; Blue Flag certifications were also reconfirmed for the Marina Riviera Nayarit in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle—the only one of its kind in Mexico—and Playa Nuevo Vallarta Norte.
Nayarit is one of Mexico’s top Blue Flag states with three to its name.
The most recent one was awarded to the Riviera Nayarit’s sister brand, Lagunas
Encantadas, for the Laguna Santa María del Oro. They raised it for the first
time on August 4, 2016.
“It’s important to mention the three Blue Flags in Nayarit were obtained
thanks to the collaboration of Governor Roberto Sandoval Castañeda, who has
supported the tourism sector since day one and helped us with these important
gains,” said Marc Murphy, Managing Director of the Riviera Nayarit Convention
and Visitors Bureau.
“The Governor’s commitment to tourism is very much in evidence, not only
has he brought about safety, security and investment to the state, he has also invested
in the environment,” continued Murphy. “”We’re going to continue to promote the
Riviera Nayarit as well as the state’s sister brands. The fact the Laguna de Santa
María del Oro is a Blue Flag destination will help position Nayarit on the
world stage.”
The Marina Riviera Nayarit in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle reconfirmed its
Blue Flag certification, which it obtained in 2015. Since then, it continues to
be the first and only one of its kind to enjoy this international environmental
badge.
“The reconfirmation of the Blue Flag is proof we have kept our
commitment of advocating the values of environmental preservation. This obliges
us to intensify our efforts because it forces us to compete on a world level,”
said Rafael Alcántara, Harbor Master for the Marina Riviera Nayarit. “As far as
the promotion of our natural markets, the Marina Riviera Nayarit is one of the
best calling cards we have!”
The first Blue Flag for Nayarit was awarded to Playa Nuevo Vallarta
Norte in 2013, which has since maintained the certification.
