In Jalisco State, Costalegre Poised As Next Luxury Hot Spot

THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY'S TRUSTED VOICE News & Featured Destinations Our Voices Resources Hotel & Cruise INSIGHT MEXICO INSIGHT In Jalisco state, Costalegre poised as next luxury hot spot By Meagan Drillinger | Sep 09, 2019 When it comes to luxury enclaves in Mexico, there are a few that stand out: Riviera Maya/Tulum, Los Cabos and Punta Mita, for example. But the coast of Jalisco between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo is on track to become the next luxury hideaway in Meagan Drillinger the country. "This has been one of the main points of the agenda for the governor of Jalisco," said German Ralis, Jalisco's tourism secretary. "We want to make Costalegre the new brand of the Pacific coast -- to be the best. [The government] is putting a lot of infrastructure to make it one of the best in the world." Among the developments: a plan for a new highway that will decrease the time from Puerto Vallarta to Chalacatepec in Costalegre from two hours to 25 minutes. With this highway, visitors who want to explore beyond Puerto Vallarta's beaches will be able to quickly drive south to off-the-beaten-path locations such as Isla Cocinas and Isla Pajarera. The highway would improve airport transfers from Puerto Vallarta to Careyes, which is an exclusive private luxury estate in Costalegre. But there's much more to come in that section of the state, as well. Major innovations and new properties are in the works, including Four Seasons Tamarindo, which will open in 2020 with 160 rooms and a golf course. There will also be a new Zoetry resort (the first in Jalisco) from AMResorts. For years there has been talk of an airport opening in this part of the state, as well. The airport is completed, according to Ralis, but it still won't be operational until 2020. When it does open, it will be to accommodate charters and private flights. The tourism board has other developments in the works for the state, as well. As part of the highway development, a new section of highway, expected to be completed next year, will shorten the time between Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta from five hours to three. New hotels are on the horizon throughout the state. The boutique Hotel Amapa will open in Puerto Vallarta by the end of this year with 55 guestrooms, a rooftop pool and bar, and wellness section. The rooftop has views over the Bay of Banderas, as well as the mountains behind it. Nearby in the town of Tequila, La Cofradia's Matices Hotel is expanding to offer 20 more of its signature tequila barrel-shaped rooms. Also opening next month are a pool and tequila barrel spa. Both Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara's airports are set to undergo expansions to make them larger and more modern. "Guadalajara [airport] has one of the highest growths [in the country]," says Ralis. This year they plan to close with a 12% growth from the previous year. Ralis tells Travel Weekly that there will be new direct flights from the U.S. into Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta to be announced later this year, as well. "We are working very hard in Chicago," he says. One of the flights to come online will be a Viva Aerobus flight from Chicago to Guadalajara..

Sandy White [email protected] www.sandlertravel.com 832-305-7825 PUERTO VALLARTA, JALISCO, MEXICO OVERVIEW Introduction Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, masterfully plays the part of a remote tropical getaway, even as it grows into a larger city that's connected to the outside world by multinational chain stores and a steady stream of jets and cruise ships. Puerto Vallarta's success has a lot to do with looks. However, in recent years, unchecked development along every inch of its beach has gradually turned the once-quaint fishing village enjoyed by the moneyed few into a mass-market destination. Still, there remains much beauty in Vallarta (as it is known to the locals and habitues) and the coast to its northwest. Whitewashed walls and terra-cotta-tiled roofs are nestled along Banderas Bay, with the ornate crown of the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe serving as a focal point. The lush, green foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains to the east make for a beautiful and dramatic backdrop. Puerto Vallarta's style is another key. Even as more and more travelers have arrived, and more and more hotels have been built, it has somehow managed to retain—or at least appears to retain—a cultured grace that's rare in heavily touristed areas. Artists, architects, writers and chefs flourish in this rarified climate of tropical creativity. The restaurants, galleries and shops there are some of the finest in the country, drawing local talent from Mexico City and Guadalajara, and farther afield from Italy, Switzerland, Canada, the U.S. and elsewhere.

Sustainable Development Frictions: Lifestyle Migration on the Coast of Jalisco, Mexico
Sustainable development frictions: lifestyle migration on the coast of Jalisco, Mexico Jennifer Cardinal1 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA Abstract The concept of sustainability is materialized differently in luxury ecotourism development and in locally- directed community development initiatives. I examine the diverse environmental ideologies at play in these two distinct incarnations of "sustainable development" on the southern Jalisco, Mexico coast; first, in La Manzanilla, a community inhabited by a proportionately large population of leisure consumption-driven lifestyle migrants, then to the north, in elite ecotourism enclaves and a community displaced by a wealthy developer. I suggest these divergent development incarnations may be understood by expanding the concept of lifestyle migration to include a broader range of enactments of home, from different class perspectives. Global environmental ideologies and lifestyle migrant capital play a fundamental but not the only role in local sustainable development. I suggest global influences and local initiatives are creating a productive friction, reassembling global environmental knowledge and tourism imaginaries to suit local agendas. While there is no consensus on what sustainable development should look like in La Manzanilla, the intersection of initiatives is producing locally-directed development that contrasts with the erasure of local agendas happening in elite costal developments nearby. Keywords: sustainable development, friction, environmental ideology, tourism, lifestyle migration Résumé La durabilité se matérialise de différentes manières dans les initiatives de développement de l'écotourisme de luxe et dans le développement des communautés locales. J'examine les diverses idéologies environnementales en jeu dans ces deux incarnations distinctes du «développement durable» sur la côte sud de Jalisco, au Mexique. Premièrement, à La Manzanilla, une communauté d'écotourisme et de modes de vie d'élite, et deuxièmement, une communauté déplacée par un riche promoteur immobilier.

Journey Into Jalisco –Mexico’S Heartland
Journey into Jalisco –Mexico’s heartland JOHN HECHT Lonely Planet Writer 6 JANUARY 2021 The state of Jalisco stretches from the sparkling Pacific coast inland to the enchanting Guadalajara and Tequila © Westend 61 / Getty Images Welcome to the heart of Mexico where jungle-shrouded mountains rise from the sea, blue agave fields blanket vast rolling hills and ancient history comes alive in colonial and rural wonderlands. Anyone looking to experience quintessential Mexico will certainly find it in the western Mexican state of Jalisco, the birthplace of mariachi music, tequila and many other classic Mexican traditions. At the center of it all stands the state capital Guadalajara with its exquisite colonial architecture, vibrant crafts and art scene and a diverse gastronomic offering that will have you licking your chops at every turn. For some glorious beach time, head west to the Pacific coast town of Puerto Vallarta and linger on palm-fringed sands and plunge into the wildlife-rich waters of Bahía de Banderas. Even pandemic-wary travelers can rest easy here, perhaps on a wilderness escape to the cool mountains of San Sebastián del Oeste or on a day trip to Tequila (yes, it's a drink and a destination). Here’s a closer look at a region that is so emblematic of Mexico. The waters around Puerto Vallarta are wonderful for wildlife viewing © Daniel- Avin77 / Getty Images/iStockphoto Diving, dining and wildlife watching in Puerto Vallarta You could easily spend weeks visiting the sights in and around Puerto Vallarta’s vast, crescent-shaped Bahía de Banderas, with its glistening coastline.

CRUISING NOTES - Things to know before you go McIntosh / McCaleb CRUISING NOTES Things to know before you go Tenth Edition Nora and Phil McCaleb Carole and Pat McIntosh CRUISING NOTES - Things to know before you go McIntosh / McCaleb About the authors -- Both the McCalebs and the McIntoshes have over 45 years of sailing under their belts. The wisdom the authors have accumulated is gained from having sailed thousands of miles of cruising and some exotic landfalls. Phil and Nora have chartered in New Zealand and the Caribbean; the four of them chartered catamarans in Belize. Carole has crewed from Tahiti to Hawaii, Pat, from Hawaii to San Francisco. Their cruising has taken them from the waters of Canada and Washington south to Panama. They’ve spent memorable times in the Mexican and Central American waters. In addition to that, both couples have made multiple trips up and down the coasts of California and Mexico, including doing Baja Ha Ha’s and Baja Bashes. Desiring to share the experiences and collective knowledge they’ve gained together along with the input from other cruisers, they have conducted cruising seminars together for several years, and have helped prepare thousands of other sailors to go cruising. Their seminar notes, input from question and answer sessions and input from many cruising Pat and Carole McIntosh friends ultimately culminated in the creation of this book, eight editions ago. They now invite you to sit back, relax, peel back the front cover,* and join them as they help you prepare for a “sail of a lifetime” down the west coast of North and Central America, or wherever the wind blows! * ”It’s about time all this stuff is available in one place!” * Strictly Sail Pacific – boat show program 2014 CRUISING NOTES Things to know before you go Tenth Edition Nora and Phil McCaleb and Carole and Pat McIntosh Encore Press, Sacramento, California www.encorepress.com CRUISING NOTES - Things to know before you go McIntosh / McCaleb Copyright © 2020 by Nora McCaleb, Phil McCaleb, Carole McIntosh, Pat McIntosh.

Poblamiento, Desarrollo, Conservación Y Conflicto En La Costa De Jalisco: Una Revisión Histórica
Vol. 17 N.o 1. Págs. 193‑207. Enero‑Abril 2019 https://doi.org/10.25145/j.pasos.2019.17.013 www.pasosonline.org Carlos Gauna Ruíz de León Poblamiento, desarrollo, conservación y conflicto en la costa de Jalisco: una revisión histórica Carlos Gauna Ruíz de León* Universidad de Guadalajara (México) Resumen: La costa de Jalisco tiene una belleza natural impresionante, con escenarios naturales entre playa y tierra que se complementan en un territorio diverso y con enormes potencialidades para el desarrollo de actividades productivas, tanto agropecuarias como de turismo, con la condición de que se sean sostenibles tanto para el medio ambiente como para las comunidades allí asentadas. Desde principios del siglo veinte se han generado proyectos de intervención en la región, algunos fueron abandonados, otros tardaron tanto tiempo que cuando se concluyeron ya no respondían a las nuevas necesidades, y otros provocaron un desarrollo importante en términos sociales y económicos, como lo es Puerto Vallarta. El objetivo del trabajo es hacer un relato histórico, con el mayor número de proyectos que se han gestado en la costa, que permitan comprender su proceso a lo largo del tiempo. Caracterizar a la región a partir de los hechos que allí se gestaron permite entender el estado que guarda, comprender las motivaciones de los actores y la relevancia de sus acciones en la configuración de la realidad actual. Palabras Clave: Desarrollo regional; Turismo; Territorio. Population, development, conservation and conflict in the Jalisco coast: a historical review Abstract: The coast of Jalisco boasts impressive natural beauty, with various different scenarios of combinations of beaches and countryside that offer enormous potential for responsible activities in both tourism and the primary sector, thereby favouring the resident populations and preserving the heritage features.
