Puerto Vallarta ALGV Ascend 2024: Strategic Tourism Promotion
The ALGV Ascend 2024 event brought together more than 700 travel advisors from the United States and around 100 tourism service providers, creating a space where Puerto Vallarta could showcase its hospitality, infrastructure and services. The participation of the Tourism Board included work tables, conferences and a trade show in which the main attractions of the destination were highlighted. This promotion is carried out annually to strengthen relations with consultants and suppliers, who are key to position Puerto Vallarta as a destination of excellence in the North American market.
In addition, events of this magnitude facilitate the connection between tourism agents from different countries and allow destinations to better position themselves, as exemplified by the recent campaign “Pacific & Wild by Beautiful Destinations,” which promotes other coastal destinations in the Pacific.
Air Connections: New Direct Flight Options to Puerto Vallarta
One of the highlights of Puerto Vallarta ALGV Ascend 2024 was the promotion of new direct air routes, especially the flights inaugurated by Alaska Airlines from Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri. These connections were well received by travel advisors, as they provide direct access to Puerto Vallarta from key points in the United States, facilitating travel for tourists seeking to avoid stopovers.
The importance of these flights lies not only in increasing the flow of tourists, but also in attracting a traveler profile that appreciates comfort and direct connectivity. By expanding its flight network, Puerto Vallarta positions itself as an accessible and competitive destination for tourists from various U.S. cities, thus reinforcing its connectivity strategy for international tourism.
