Viva Aerobus strengthens Jalisco’s connectivity, mainly as a result of the reconfiguration of the air market and supply. The Ministry of Tourism of Jalisco, the Guadalajara Convention and Visitors Bureau (OVCG) and the Public Trust for Tourism Promotion and Publicity of Puerto Vallarta, celebrated the increase of operations on the Guadalajara (GDL) – Puerto Vallarta (PVR) route of the Mexican low-cost airline.
“These new flights are the result of collaborative work between the private sector, the Ministry of Tourism of Jalisco, the Puerto Vallarta Trust and the Guadalajara Tourism Trust that work to generate greater dynamism and tourism exchange that will drive local and regional economic growth and development, the goal is to continue growing and creating ties with new cities,” said Gustavo Staufert Buclon, general director of OFVC Guadalajara.
