Dear Friends, Neighbors and Guests,

Welcome to our January 2017 edition of the Riviera Partners Realty (RPR) monthly newsletter.

Wishing you and your families a New Year filled with good Health, Happiness, Peace, Love & Prosperity. 

Mexico’s lodging market has been shaped by the recent macroeconomic trends and is poised for more considerable growth in 2017. Expect to see a rise in international arrivals given the favorable exchangerate and greatly improved connectivity, while new-build hotels in our region will also add to the increase. Healthy demand fundamentals and continued momentum from strong RevPAR (Revenue per Available Room) growth indicate numerous opportunities for Mexico’s top tourist destinations, most importantly for Punta Mita.

After experiencing the highest occupancy levels of almost a decade, Puerto Vallarta is anticipated to continue making strides in growth in tourism this coming year. New luxury hotels areexpected to help lift the rate ceiling, while the limited new supply underscores the opportunity for future growth given healthy demand indicators and anticipated ADR gains. Although new supply is constrained in the medium term, the W Punta Mita is expected to enhance the destination’s luxury hotel offerings as well as the active luxury villa rental market.

Real Estate sales continue to improve in our region and continue driving real estate property inventories down which translates into new opportunities for developers to start feeding the pipeline with new exciting real estate offerings/communities. 2017 overall looks to be an extremely promising year for the Travel/Hotel industry in Mexico and will also continue providing great opportunities to the rest of the Resort Real Estate industry in our region for the foreseeable future.

Jonathon, Wally and the team at Riviera Partners Realty.
