The results of the summer tourist season have shown that the Puerto Vallarta Real Estate area’s tourism industry is going strong, even exceeding numbers from last year.   Since tourism is area’s main industry, it is good news for any owner or potential buyer of Puerto Vallarta real estate that tourism here is also stronger than the national average of Mexico. Also good news is that the recovery in tourism opened the doors for the return of cruise ships, some of which had been cancelled this year because of the economic crisis and later by the arrival of influenza.   The Spanish cruise company Pullmantur announced two new  cruise routes starting in 2010. One will travel Mexico’s Caribbean coast and other the Mexican Pacific. With 26 trips, they hope to reach a total of 40 thousand passengers.   The director of Pullmantur, Eduardo Barroso Alarcon recalled that the planned arrival of the company to Mexico was delayed by the outbreak of the swine flu; with signs of recovery in tourist activity, tour providers have requested their return. One of the routes, the Mexican Pacific, will set out from Puerto Vallarta, which will benefit the region as it is expected to bring between 35 and 40 million dollars. The Caribbean coast route will start at two points: Puerto Progreso and Cozumel.  The routes will stop at five ports, bringing the 40 thousand passengers to each destination, bringing a boost to the tourism economy of each area.   In addition, each route will generate 100 direct jobs. While balancing the effects of the recession, Barroso reassured that prices are accessible to a variety of budgets, ranging from 10 thousand to 22 thousand pesos.   TOPMexicoRealEstate NETWORK, “Your expert property finders,“  will continue you updates on the status of the economy and tourism in Mexico, and its affect on the Puerto Vallarta Real Estate market.
