ROMANCE CULTURE & HEALING

Imagen publicidad de la revista Nupcias edición especial de Jalisco

Romance Tourism is very significant for Mexican destinations, because of the positive impact it has on the local economy, integrating the entire network of resources that makes this industry possible. Currently, Romance Tourism is an efficient industry to accelerate the economical growth of many communities in our country, help modernize the infrastructure, boost the economy, promote our cultural resources, balance the social equality and support sustainability.

This segment covers not only destination weddings, but also proposals, bachelor and bachelorette parties, honeymoons, wedding anniversaries, vows renewals, last trip before the baby's birth (Babymoon), second nuptials, travel with the family (Family-Moon) and a new niche that is growing exponentially with the current epidemiological and economic conditions, which are elopement weddings.

In Mexico, year after year the network of resources throughout our destinations are specializing in this segment, holding a significant number of destination weddings annually. While the favorite setting for couples has been our beautiful beaches, the new generations are being attracted to colonial and adventure destinations.

Therefore, the Mexican Tourism Board - SECTUR, through the General Directorate of Innovation for Tourism, is promoting Romance Tourism, focusing not only on destination weddings, but also seeking the integration of other tourism products and experiences in and around that special moment, allowing the incorporation of the local population, which contributes to raising their quality of life.

This catalog is the result of a coordinated effort between the Destination Wedding Specialist Association - DWSA, the Jalisco State Secretary of Tourism, the Municipality of Puerto Vallarta, all the specialized suppliers of this tourist destination and the Mexican Tourism Board. Together we carried out virtual workshops to create innovative tourism services aimed to the Romance Tourism, with an individual value that gives them a distinctive character and, at the same time, a unique identity.

In this way, local vendors and communities represented by artisans, traditional cooks, agribusinesses and cooperatives have been incorporated, thus seeking social development with a gender and inclusion perspective.

It is important to mention that this work responds to the new tourist policy that seeks to encourage the benefits of this activity to showcase the localities, and reach more sectors of the population, seeking a balanced development of the country's regions.

We hope that this document is not only useful but interesting, and that it contributes to your experience of living and enjoying Mexico.
