Puerto Vallarta will be part of the “Gay Games Guadalajara 2023”.

The “After Games” will take place in this popular tourist location thanks to direct cooperation between the “Gay Games Guadalajara 2023” and “Vallarta Pride” organizations. This was revealed at a news conference that was attended by representatives of both organizations as well as Susana Rodriguez, the local representative of the Jalisco State Government, who expressed her happiness with the occasion. The approximately 16,000 visitors who are anticipated to attend are estimated to have an economic benefit of more than 600 million pesos.

This would be extraordinary, and undoubtedly a great part of it could be replicated in places like Puerto Vallarta, which are a window to the community and a window to Mexico to support inclusion. Since the sporting arena has frequently been a place for discrimination, as the Olympics or professional soccer games have historically been, the state official stated that this is the primary goal of the “Gay Games” through the sporting event. The “Gay Games Guadalajara 2023” are regarded as the most significant sporting and cultural occasion in the world for the inclusion of the LGBT+ community and will take place from November 3 to November 11 in the state capital of Jalisco. Additionally, it was revealed that Dr. Tom Waddell, an Olympic decathlete who took part in the “Mexico 68 Olympic Games,” founded the “Gay Games” and organized the first-ever Diversity Games in San Francisco in 1982.

The “Gay Games” is a multidisciplinary, non-profit event that includes more than 20 sports disciplines, cultural activities, conferences, and tourist attractions. Puerto Vallarta, a sister city in the same state of Jalisco, joins in the support and promotion of this significant event, which will be held from November 3 to 11, 2023, with the participation of more than 8,000 athletes and will draw more than 16,000 visitors, the majority from outside the United States.
