The 50th Tianguis Turístico launched in Acapulco on April 27, 2026. This milestone brought it back to Expo Mundo Imperial, its original home after 15 years traveling Mexico’s top spots. Around 8,000 industry leaders showed up to connect, negotiate, and plan the future.
Puerto Vallarta shone bright within Jalisco’s strong contingent. The state activated all four of its tourism development trusts: the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, Costalegre coast, inland regions, and dedicated Puerto Vallarta group. Their goal? Secure game-changing partnerships, expand market reach, and ramp up arrivals via new flights and packages. Jalisco’s Secretary of Tourism highlighted the event as essential for landing those big-league alliances.
PV benefits big time. Think more direct flights from the US and Canada, fresh hotel builds, and promoted eco-tours. The fair ties into Mexico’s record year: nearly 100 million international tourists in 2025, with billions in revenue. New focuses like community-based travel add cultural depth alongside PV’s famous beaches and vibes.
Tianguis has evolved since going mobile in 2012; PV and Riviera Nayarit co-hosted one edition, proving the format works anywhere. Now, back in Acapulco, it spotlights resilient destinations like ours. Delegates buzzed about investments and routes. Jalisco’s push positions PV for growth in luxury, adventure, and family travel. Stay tuned for deal reveals.
