Puerto Vallarta’s top tourism official expressed surprise that three cruise lines cancelled calls to the Mexican resort area this week, saying that the violence was isolated and limited.
“The city of Puerto Vallarta and other areas in the state of Jalisco experienced disturbances on Friday morning May 1,” Agustin Alvarez, director of the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board, said in a statement.
“The local city and state police quickly responded and put an end to the situation within a matter of hours. Peace was restored and no further events have occurred."
"No harm came to any residents or visitors to Puerto Vallarta and no disturbance, restriction or limits have affected tourists in Puerto Vallarta. All tourism infrastructure and services including the port, marina, airport, convention center, hotels and resorts, tours, and transport remained fully operational.”
“Please rest assured that visitors to Puerto Vallarta continue to enjoy the tranquility, warm hospitality and security it is well known for, and the incidents that took place over a week ago have in no way affected or altered this,” Alvarez concluded.
