Three Nominations, One World-Class Destination

Tourist Destination of the Year 2026: Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta’s nomination as Tourist Destination of the Year highlights its signature blend of golden beaches, lush tropical nature, world-class cuisine, rich cultural heritage, and warm Mexican hospitality.

This versatility positions Puerto Vallarta as a premier hub for MICE tourism, allowing conference planners to combine productive business agendas with beachfront dining, outdoor adventure, and authentic local experiences between the Mexican Pacific and the Sierra Madre mountains.

With acclaimed oceanfront dining along the Malecón boardwalk and accommodations ranging from luxury resorts to intimate boutique hotels, the destination gives event organizers versatile options for every delegation.

Public Management in MICE Tourism: Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board

Behind every successful convention is targeted global marketing, strategic destination coordination, and industry collaboration. The Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board (Fidetur Puerto Vallarta) earned its nomination for driving international promotional initiatives and attracting high-profile conventions, trade shows, and corporate retreats to the region.

A vote for Fidetur Puerto Vallarta recognizes the public leadership connecting international meeting planners and hospitality partners with Puerto Vallarta’s world-class tourism infrastructure.

Business Excellence in the Meetings Industry: CICPV

The Puerto Vallarta International Convention Center (CICPV) serves as the cornerstone of the region’s event infrastructure, hosting international congresses, major trade expos, and high-level corporate events.

Featuring versatile event spaces such as the Grand Vallarta Hall—which boasts 53,800 ft² of column-free space—the CICPV offers exceptional venue logistics, event coordination, and hospitality service.

For meeting professionals and attendees who have experienced events at the venue, voting is an opportunity to honor its continued leadership in venue management.
