‘Nayarit Brings It All’ Campaign Seeks To Position The Mexican State In The Elite Outdoor Sports World

NUEVO NAYARIT, Nayarit, Mexico — In an effort to continue positioning Nayarit in the field of sports tourism, the state’s tourism officials have teamed up with Mexico’s national Ministry of Tourism to launch “Nayarit Viene con Todo”— translated as “Nayarit Brings it All” — as a series of competitive and exhibition events highlighting the diversity, beauty and infrastructure of the state, while attracting national and international tourism to the benefit of Nayarit’s residents.

“Sports tourism has to potential to bring spectator sporting events to our state, but it also allows us to develop educational opportunities for our visitors to learn and practice fishing, surfing, paddle boarding, kite boarding and other adventure sports,” said Nayarit’s Minister of Tourism, Juan Enrique Suárez del Real Tostado. “We also seek to rescue the heritage of the municipalities through craft workshops that promote the legacy of our handcrafts, as well as our gastronomy.

“In this way, those who come to Nayarit will find a complete experience and will bring benefits to the communities with defined projects,” the minister added. “For us, diversification means bringing the opportunity for economic and social development to local communities, and it means showing the natural beauties of Nayarit.”

Last month, Riviera Nayarit hosted the fifteenth edition of the Aeroméxico Golf Tournament with Lorena Ochoa, a fundraiser for the education of low-income children. Golf lovers traveled from all over Mexico, the U.S., Canada, Europe and South America to attend.

Upcoming adventure sports events include the Islas Marías Half-Marathon; the Riviera Nayarit 21K runners’ event, with 5K, 10K and half-marathon races; the Nayarit From The Sky extreme skydiving competition; the Fly Nayarit paragliding event; and the Surf Nayarit surfing event. All will showcase the diversity of Nayarit as a world sports tourism force to be reckoned with, and an expected 1 million people will travel to the state for these events.

Nayarit — the perfect setting for adventure sports!
