“The work strategies we’ve been implementing are bearing fruit,” said Marc Murphy, Managing Director of the Riviera Nayarit CVB. “We're very pleased with the excellent numbers we’re seeing in the Riviera Nayarit, which means it’s perfect timing for us to double down on our efforts and continue to exceed our own expectations.”
