New Year's 2011 looks set to make a big impact this December 31 in Puerto Vallarta. The Mayor and City Hall have teamed up with the Bureau of Visitors and Conventions and the Fideicomiso (the public body that promotes tourism) to prepare an cultural event for the Malecón in the heart of Puerto Vallarta's historic center. The event is geared towards drawing more tourism to Puerto Vallarta while also giving citizens and expats here a reason to celebrate.

The event, "Fusión de Sentidos: Fiesta Vallarta 2011," spearheaded by Director of Tourism José Luís Diáz Borili, was conceived by Mijo! Brands to raise public awareness of, and support for, the new portal. The official portal, which will boast a fully integrated online reservation system for hotels, tours and restaurants was designed to increase tourism to the destination.
