Puerto Vallarta, A Film Paradise

Puerto Vallarta, A Film Paradise-Main

Many Mexican cities consistently woo national and international movie producers to use them as backdrops for ambitious movie projects, which traditionally leave behind substantial amounts of revenue and tourism promotion. As a result, Puerto Vallarta could be the location for Silvester Stallone's latest Rambo installment. The production of movies in Puerto Vallarta and the city's development have evolved hand-in-hand for many decades. and the State of Jalisco is committed to maintaining this industry alive. Presently, Destilando Amor, a popular Mexican TV soap opera, is using our magnificent landscapes to record their episodes. The State of Jalisco has made more than 348 million of pesos just for being the location of several movie and TV projects, documentaries, and reports for national and international TV channels. The income includes hired services for food, drinks, lodging, transport, among others. Jalisco's Promotion and Region Development Director Francisco Salas Montiel said “The mythical scenes of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton at Puerto Vallarta all the way to the action of Tanrantino’s Kill Bill and the recent Pirates of the Caribbean have captured the beauty of the Bay.” Salas Montiel emphasized that state authorities will supervise the responsible preservation of local flora and fauna. “We will pay particular attention to the use of explosives that could damage the environment in all projects that are produced locally.”
