- Mexico’s Pacific Treasure displayed
its tourism infrastructure and multiple attractions to more than 300 travel
agents, wedding organizers, and service providers from the United States,
Canada, and the Caribbean.
The Riviera Nayarit hosted the 2019
Romance Travel Forum, where a select group of travel agents, wedding planners,
and providers specializing in the Romance segment from North America and the
Caribbean were introduced to the region’s tourism offer. The activities were
held in conjunction with Puerto Vallarta between May 5th and 8th.
Romance tourism is one of the most
consolidated segments; it also generates the most revenue due to the number of
visitors it attracts.
Both the Riviera Nayarit and Puerto
Vallarta have attracted the attention of travel professionals as an ideal setting
for weddings, honeymoons, and anniversaries thanks to its unparalled luxury,
nature, and traditions.
Although this was the sixth edition
of Romance Travel Forum this is the first time it was held in the Mexican
Pacific and, of course, the first time in the region, according to Jennifer
Fernández, vp of events for the Travel Show Marketing Group.
She commented agents are very excited
to be visiting the destination; many of them hadn’t visited in years or were
here for the first time, so it was a unique experience for them.

“We’re so excited to be here. We’ve
been in Cancun and the Riviera Maya, but it’s the first time this event was
held in this region so there’s a lot of excitiment around experiencing
something different, the authentic Mexico, different hotels, and different
brands that aren’t present in the Mexican Caribbean, so it’s wonderful to be
here in the Riviera Nayarit.”
“Because we’re the organizers we
arrived a few days earlier and had the opportunity to take advantage of the
hotels and the fabulous and authentic food that we enjoyed so much. The sunsets
are absolutely marvelous, I think I’ve never seen sunsets like that anywhere
else. I would definitely recommend the Riviera Nayarit and I’m sure more
tourists will arrive thanks to this event,” she reaffirmed.
The Romance Travel Forum was held at
the Hard Rock Hotel with several activities scheduled for agents and wedding
planners, including training sessions revolving around the products and
destinations, unique networking opportunities, and a workshop with the
participation of 90 expo companies from the United States, Mexico, the
Caribbean, and other parts of the world. Upon completion, the attending agents
received a seal as Certified Romance Travel Experts.
