will be different after COVID-19. Tourists will see exclusivity without
altering the environment and they will be more demanding with respect to
hygiene and sustainability. To continue being competitive, the tourist
destinations must adapt to these new tendencies by offering unique experiences

The
Riviera Nayarit stands out in this respect as a destination that embraces
Luxury and Nature while going even further, because although it shines for its
spectacular resorts and its exclusivity, it has also been a standard-bearer for
the protection of the environment and its natural sources through a series of
ongoing programs and initiatives.

EarthCheck: The
Fraccionamiento Náutico Turístico Nuevo Vallarta maintains the
environmental management and continuous improvement programs that have allowed

solid waste, protection of biodiversity, air quality, care of green areas, and
adequate management of hazardous substances.

Management, Urban Infrastructure, and Natural Resources, among other aspects,
verified through the environmental audit program. The Nuevo Vallarta Industrial

Sustainable practices:
Beach Cleanup Network (BCN): This
unique network was created seven years ago and is made up of diverse groups of
volunteers in the Riviera Nayarit, from Bucerías to remote communities such as
the Isla de Mexcaltitán. In addition to the regular monthly clean-ups (beaches,
streets, gullies, streams, riverbanks, vacant lots, medians, etc.), every year
the teams hold a marathon cleanup with the participation of 1,500 people where
they collect up to 29 tons of trash. The most common waste items they pick up
are plastic bottles, cigarette butts, polyurethane containers, aluminum cans,
wrappers, sanitary waste, and bits of fishing gear, among others.

Heroes Wanted Campaign: The Heroes Wanted (Se Buscan Héroes) campaign
was launched in 2015 in a joint initiative between Paralelo 28 and the Banderas
Bay Hotel and Motel Association (AHMBB). This campaign has undoubtedly been a
milestone as far as conservation models in Natural Protected Areas (NPA) in the
Pacific northwest, including the Marietas Islands and the world-famous Playa
del Amor (Lover’s Beach).
